kubectl-aliases-powershell

Forked from: https://github.com/ahmetb/kubectl-aliases

This repository contains a script to generate hundreds of convenient kubectl PowerShell aliases programmatically.

Examples

Some of the 800 generated aliases are:

function k([Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments = $true)]$params) { & kubectl $params }
function kg([Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments = $true)]$params) { & kubectl get $params }
function kgpo([Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments = $true)]$params) { & kubectl get pods $params }

function ksysgpo([Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments = $true)]$params) { & kubectl --namespace=kube-system get pods $params }

function krm([Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments = $true)]$params) { & kubectl delete $params }
function krmf([Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments = $true)]$params) { & kubectl delete --recursive -f $params }
function krming([Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments = $true)]$params) { & kubectl delete ingress $params }
function krmingl([Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments = $true)]$params) { & kubectl delete ingress -l $params }
function krmingall([Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments = $true)]$params) { & kubectl delete ingress --all $params }

function kgsvcoyaml([Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments = $true)]$params) { & kubectl get service -o=yaml $params }
function kgsvcwn([Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments = $true)]$params) { & kubectl get service --watch --namespace $params }

function kgwf([Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments = $true)]$params) { & kubectl get --watch --recursive -f $params }
...

Installation

You can directly download the kubectl_aliases.ps1 file and save it to PowerShell profile directory: $Home\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\ then run this command to edit your profile.ps1:

'. $Home\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\kubectl_aliases.ps1' | Out-File $PROFILE.CurrentUserAllHosts -Encoding ascii -Append

To print the full command before running it, add this to your profile.ps1 file:

function kubectl([Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments = $true)]$params) { Write-Output "> kubectl $(@($params | ForEach-Object {$_}) -join ' ')"; & kubectl.exe $params; }

FAQ

Does this not slow down my shell start up?

Sourcing the file that contains ~800 aliases takes less than 30 milliseconds on my laptop. Measure it yourself with Measure-Command { . $Home\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\kubectl_aliases.ps1 } command.

How to regenerate the PowerShell aliases file?

# powershell
generate_aliases.py --output ps1 | Out-File -Encoding ascii kubectl_aliases.ps1
