About kubie
kubie is an alternative to kubectx, kubens and the k on prompt modification script. It switches Kubernetes contexts and namespaces and changes the prompt, but does so per shell, so each terminal keeps its own context and one window cannot change another's cluster by accident.
It also supports split configuration files and can load contexts from several files in paths you configure. The project has moved to the kubie-org organisation, and its README points to an issue about the future of development.
Strengths
- Each shell keeps an independent context and namespace
- Loads contexts from multiple split config files
- Replaces kubectx, kubens and prompt scripts in one tool
Limitations
- Future of development is under discussion in the project
- Command-line only
