The TMUX Kubernetes status plugin

Note: Hi! This plugin is not actively maintained at the moment, please check this repository out if you're looking for a similar project: https://github.com/jonmosco/kube-tmux /Mikael

This tmux plugin displays your kubectl context status information in the status bar.

Example:

From the official Kubernetes documentation:

A context element in a kubeconfig file is used to group access parameters under a convenient name. Each context has three parameters: cluster, namespace, and user. By default, the kubectl command-line tool uses parameters from the current context to communicate with the cluster.

Usage

Add #{k8s_status} to your status-left or status-right:

Example:

set -g status-right '#{k8s_status} %a %Y-%m-%d %H:%M'

The information in the status bar will be presented in the following way:

<context>:<cluster>:<namespace>(<number of pods>)
