Kyma CLI as a Kubectl plugin

To follow this section a kubectl version of 1.12.0 or later is required.

A plugin is nothing more than a standalone executable file, whose name begins with kubectl- . To install a plugin, simply move this executable file to anywhere on your PATH.

Rename a kyma binary to kubectl-kyma and place it anywhere in your PATH:

sudo mv ./kyma /usr/local/bin/kubectl-kyma

Run kubectl plugin list command and you will see your plugin in the list of available plugins.

You may now invoke your plugin as a kubectl command:

$ kubectl kyma version
Kyma CLI version: v0.6.1
Kyma cluster version: 1.0.0

To know more about extending kubectl with plugins read kubernetes documentation.
