    Hello! This gist goes with this video, which covers shortcuts and strategies for working with the K8s command line. You can see all of my videos on YouTube at https://adrian.goins.tv.
Scripts

I use Fish as my shell, but I know that a lot of people are using Bash. Here are two ways to concatenate config files for kubectl into the KUBECONFIG environment variable. If you're using zsh or tcsh you'll know how to convert these to your shell's format.
You can call these from your shell init file, or if you want to temporarily disable a script, append .bak or .disabled to its extension and run the script manually.
You can even hotkey it on something like the Elgato Stream Deck.
Fish

#!/usr/local/bin/fish

set -gx KUBECONFIG (echo (find ~/.kube -type f -name config.\*.yaml) | sed 's/[[:space:]]/:/g')
Bash

#!/bin/bash
export KUBECONFIG=$(echo $(find ~/.kube -type f -name config.\*.yaml) | sed 's/[[:space:]]/:/g')
Aliases

These are the aliases that I use most frequently:
