How to

1. Install Hyper.JS
2. Modify shell and args parts in .hyper.js (provided in gist)
3. Add a custom powershell profile (provided in gist)
4. Install Kubectl for Windows (refer to Kubernetes website or use chocolatey)
5. Fetch login credentials for your GKE/AKS/EKS and drop into kube-config file. (you need to do)

If you prefer to use all default ~/.kube/config which can be created with cloud providers' tooling (i.e. gcloud login && gcloud containers get-credentials, you can skip #5 and remove KUBECONFIG line from step #3
