# kubectl-modify-secret

`kubectl-modify-secret` is a [kubectl plugin](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/extend-kubectl/kubectl-plugins/) that allows user to modify the secret without having to worry about doing base64 encoding/decoding.

This plugin pulls the secret from Kubernetes, and open the configured editor with just the decoded secret data. Once user makes changes, save and quit the editor, the plugin automatically apply the updated data to Kubernetes.
