Set Visual Studio Code as default editor for kubectl

note.md

Set KUBE_EDITOR to Visual Studio Code, assumes 'code' is in PATH

export KUBE_EDITOR='code --wait'

Running k edit ... will open up the yaml using Visual Studio Code.

EDITOR='open -a "Visual Studio Code" --wait' kubectl

^ inline temporary editor change for mac users

@mousavian kubeclt?

thanks 🙏

Thanks

Thanks

Legend!

For PowerShell use
$env:KUBE_EDITOR="code --wait"

To make this permanent, edit ~/.bash-profile with code ~/.bash-profile and enter this into it:

export KUBE_EDITOR='code --wait'

indeed opens up vscode just fine, but ‌I‌ can't make a change and save it. it says Edit cancelled, no changes made. tried it with --wait flag

Awesome!

Thank

On macOS, has anyone encountered the problem that closing the editing page will not save the changes, and need to exit the vscode process to save the changes.
