# Kubernetes prompt for zsh |
|
|
|
|
|
A Kubernetes zsh prompt that displays the current cluster cluster |
|
|
and the namespace. |
|
|
|
|
|
Inspired by several tools used to simplify usage of kubectl |
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If you are not using zsh, check out [kube-ps1](https://github.com/jonmosco/kube-ps1) |
|
|
designed for bash as well as zsh. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements |
|
|
|
|
|
The default prompt assumes you have the kubectl command line utility installed. It |
|
|
can be obtained here: |
|
|
|
|
|
[Install and Set up kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/) |
|
|
|
|
|
If using this with OpenShift, the oc tool needs installed. It can be obtained from here: |
|
|
|
|
|
[OC Client Tools](https://www.openshift.org/download.html) |
|
|
|
|
|
## Helper utilities |
|
|
|
|
|
There are several great tools that make using kubectl very enjoyable. |
|
|
|
|
|
[kubectx and kubenx](https://github.com/ahmetb/kubectx) are great for |
|
|
fast switching between clusters and namespaces. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Prompt Structure |
|
|
|
|
|
The prompt layout is: |
|
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
(<symbol>|<cluster>:<namespace>) |
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
## Enabling |
|
|
|
|
|
In order to use kube-ps1 with Oh My Zsh, you'll need to enable them in the |
|
|
.zshrc file. You'll find the zshrc file in your $HOME directory. Open it with |
|
|
your favorite text editor and you'll see a spot to list all the plugins you |
|
|
want to load. |
|
|
|
|
|
```shell |
|
|
vim $HOME/.zshrc |
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
Add kube-ps1 to the list of enabled plugins: |
|
|
|
|
|
```shell |
|
|
plugins=( |
|
|
git |
|
|
kube-ps1 |
|
|
) |
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
## Colors |
|
|
|
|
|
Blue was used as the prefix to match the Kubernetes color as closely as |
|
|
possible. Red was chosen as the cluster name to stand out, and cyan |
|
|
for the namespace. These can of course be changed. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Customization |
|
|
|
|
|
The default settings can be overridden in ~/.zshrc |
|
