This configuration is required before making commits to ensure proper attribution of your work.

VS Code Settings

For VS Code settings synchronization, use the built-in Settings Sync feature:

1. Click the Settings Sync button in the bottom status bar or press Cmd + Shift + P
2. Select "Turn on Settings Sync..."
3. Choose which settings to sync (extensions, keybindings, settings, etc.)
4. Sign in with your GitHub account to start syncing

This will keep your VS Code settings, extensions, and keybindings in sync across different machines.

K9s Configuration

The repository includes a .kube_config_example file that demonstrates how to set up automatic K8s config export for k9s. Copy this example to ~/.kube/config and modify the values according to your cluster setup. This configuration enables k9s to automatically fetch and refresh authentication tokens.
