kubectl edit-status

A kubectl plugin for editing /status subresource.

This is a plugin for kubectl. It aims to provide an edit-status command for kubectl that allows editing of /status subresources. With the current plugin mechanism of kubectl, it's currently not possible to extend an existing command with a subcommand, so this plugin adds a new command (edit-status) to kubectl.

Installation

You can use krew to install edit-status. If you have not installed krew yet, which itself is a kubectl plugin, you may do so by following krew's installation instructions. edit-status is available through krew's default index:

• Update plugin index:
  kubectl krew update
• Install edit-status plugin:
  kubectl krew install edit-status
• If you have not done yet so, krew plugin binary directory (e.g., ${HOME}/.krew/bin) should be on your PATH

Installation by Using This Repo as a Custom Plugin Index

This repository also acts as a custom plugin index. In order to install edit-status using this repo as a custom plugin index:

• Please make sure that your krew plugin supports custom plugin indexes (version 0.4.0 or higher).
• Add this repository as a custom plugin index that indexes just one plugin as of right now:
  kubectl krew index add edit-status https://github.com/ulucinar/kubectl-edit-status
• Update plugin index:
  kubectl krew update
• Install edit-status plugin:
  kubectl krew install edit-status/edit-status

After installation, if you have krew's plugin bin directory on your path, kubectl plugin list should list edit-status plugin as kubectl-edit_status. You may run kubectl edit-status --help to see command-line options:

$ kubectl edit-status --help
