About:
Kubie is a tool designed to provide context switching and namespace switching for kubectl. It offers superior context isolation compared to kubectx and kubens by spawning a new shell with the correct environment variables, preventing conflicts between different Kubernetes configurations.
Key Features:
  • Context and namespace switching
  • Shell environment isolation
  • Support for multiple kubeconfig files
  • Prompt integration
Use Cases:
  • Managing multiple Kubernetes clusters simultaneously
  • Switching between namespaces without affecting global shell state
Alternatives:
  • kubectx – Kubie provides better shell isolation than kubectx which modifies the default kubeconfig file
  • kubens – Kubie handles namespace switching with better context awareness
