Thank you kubie exactly what I needed

On average I deal with at least 5 different Kubernetes clusters so today when I saw / heard of kubie I had to install it.

kubie is an alternative to kubectx, kubens and the k on prompt modification script. It offers context switching, namespace switching and prompt modification in a way that makes each shell independent from others

Installing kubie right now involved download the release from the link below. Homebrew support is pending

https://github.com/sbstp/kubie/releases

Once added to your path it's as simple as this

1. Check kubie is in your path

$ which kubie
/usr/local/bin/kubie

2. Run "kubie ctx" as follows and select the "apples" k8s context

papicella@papicella:~/pivotal/PCF/APJ/PEZ-HaaS/haas-236$ kubie ctx

[apples|default] papicella@papicella:~/pivotal/PCF/APJ/PEZ-HaaS/haas-236$

3. Switch to a new namespace as shown below and watch how the PS1 prompt changes to indicate the k8s conext and new namespace we have set as result of the command below

$ kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=vmware-system-tmc
Context "apples" modified.

[apples|vmware-system-tmc] papicella@papicella:~/pivotal/PCF/APJ/PEZ-HaaS/haas-236$

4. Finally kubie exec is a subcommand that allows you to run commands inside of a context, a bit like kubectl exec allows you to run a command inside a pod. Here is some examples below

  
[apples|vmware-system-tmc] papicella@papicella:~/pivotal/PCF/APJ/PEZ-HaaS/haas-236$ kubie exec apples vmware-system-tmc kubectl get pods
