krewfile

krewfile is just like Brewfile (brew bundle) or Gemfiles but for the krew kubernetes plugin manager.

Demo

Usage

Define a krewfile like the following at ~/.krewfile:

# this is a comment
explore # great module
modify-secret
neat
oidc-login
pv-migrate
stern
krew

Now run krewfile and it will install all the plugins defined in the file and also remove all the plugins that are not in the file.

You can also put your krewfile at any other location and point to that using the -file CLI parameter.

Lastly, you can use the -command flag to overwrite the binary to call. By default, krew is used, but you might as well use -command "kubectl krew" to use the kubectl plugin instead.

Installation

From source

If you have Go 1.16+, you can directly install by running:

go install github.com/brumhard/krewfile@latest

Based on your go configuration the krewfile binary can be found in $GOPATH/bin or $HOME/go/bin in case $GOPATH is not set. Make sure to add the respective directory to your $PATH. For more information see go docs for further information. Run go env to view your current configuration.
