zsh-kubectl-prompt

This script displays information about the kubectl current context and namespace in zsh prompt.

Usage

Clone this repository and source the kubectl.zsh from your ~/.zshrc config file, and configure your prompt.

autoload -U colors; colors
source /path/to/zsh-kubectl-prompt/kubectl.zsh
RPROMPT='%{$fg[blue]%}($ZSH_KUBECTL_PROMPT)%{$reset_color%}'

Or create different style depending on user, context, namespace. The plugin creates 4 variables:

• ZSH_KUBECTL_CONTEXT
• ZSH_KUBECTL_NAMESPACE
• ZSH_KUBECTL_PROMPT
• ZSH_KUBECTL_USER

For example, make the prompt red when the username matches admin.

autoload -U colors; colors
source /path/to/zsh-kubectl-prompt/kubectl.zsh
function right_prompt() {
  local color="blue"

  if [[ "$ZSH_KUBECTL_USER" =~ "admin" ]]; then
    color=red
  fi

  echo "%{$fg[$color]%}($ZSH_KUBECTL_PROMPT)%{$reset_color%}"
}
RPROMPT='$(right_prompt)'

Also you can install with homebrew.

$ brew tap superbrothers/zsh-kubectl-prompt
$ brew install zsh-kubectl-prompt

Customization

Change the separator between context and namespace:

zstyle ':zsh-kubectl-prompt:' separator '|'

Add custom character before the prompt:

zstyle ':zsh-kubectl-prompt:' preprompt '<'

Add custom character after the prompt:

zstyle ':zsh-kubectl-prompt:' postprompt '>'

Does not display the current namespace:

zstyle ':zsh-kubectl-prompt:' namespace false
