# K8scmd - Kubernetes graphical CLI A Kubernetes CLI written in GO and curses to interact with your clusters. The initial aim of this project is to make it simpler to navigate and diagnose a cluster.

--- ## Description K8scmd is a CLI for Kubernetes. It provides a bit more information about your cluster than *kubectl* while allowing to perform primordial Kubernetes commands with ease. At the time of this writing, K8scmd only supports a subset of all available Kubernetes resources. More will be added soon (please PR us to add your favorite resource!)
--- ## Installation ### Homebrew (OSX) ```shell brew tap k8sland/k9s https://github.com/k8sland/k9s-homebrew-tap.git brew install k9s ``` ### Binary Releases - [Releases](https://github.com/k8sland/k9s/releases)
--- ## Features > Note: K8scmd does not have an idiot light. Please be sure to hit the correct command > sequences to avoid pilot errors. `Are you sure?` not in effect here... + K8scmd uses 2 or 3 letters alias to navigate to a K8s resource + At any time you can use `?` to look up the various commands + Use `alias` to activate a resource under that alias + Use `Esc` to erase previous keystrokes. + Use `Q` or `Ctrl-C` to Quit. + `Ctrl` sequences are used to view, edit, delete, ssh ... + Use `ctx` to see and switch between your clusters

--- ## Known Issues... This initial drop is brittle. K8scmd will most likely blow up if... + Your kube-config file does not live under $HOME/.kube or you use multiple configs + You don't have enough RBAC fu to manage your cluster + Your cluster does not run a metrics-server + You have more than 9 namespaces + Most likely will bork on older Kubernetes revs. Guessing > 1.9+ is Ok?? + Not sure at this time about the ill effects for large clusters?? + Many others for sure...
--- ## Disclaimer This is still work in progress! If there is enough interest in the Kubernetes community, we will enhance per your recommendations/contributions. Also if you dig this effort, please let us know that too!
--- ## ATTA Girls/Boys! K8scmd sits on top of two very cool GO projects that provides the much needed terminal support. So big thanks and shootout to the good folks at tcell+tview for making K9s a reality!! + [tcell](https://github.com/gdamore/tcell) + [tview](https://github.com/rivo/tview)
