How to get the current namespace of current context using kubectl
I am trying to get the namespace of the currently used Kubernetes context using kubectl
.
I know there is a command kubectl config get-contexts
but I see that it cannot output in json/yaml. The only script I've come with is this:
kubectl config get-contexts --no-headers | grep '*' | grep -Eo '\S+$'
This works fine if you have a namespace selected in your context
kubectl config view --minify --output 'jsonpath={..namespace}'; echo
You can always show up your current context and namespace in your prompt with kube-ps1
Easy to memorize command line
kubectl config view | grep namespace
This will print the current namespace being used.
$kubectl config view --minify | grep namespace
