Trim cluster name & namespace name

[max-lobur]

For long cluster names & namespaces it takes a lot of space in a prompt:
(kubernetes.us-west-2.dev.subenv.company.domain:application.namepsace)~prompt$

Two options can be introduced:

• namespace trim len
• cluster trim len

setting both to 10 will end to:
(kube.us-we..:applicatio..)~prompt$
default: -1 (no trim)

For the cluster, you can do a rename (alias) with kubectl:
kubectl config rename-context old_name new_name

For the namespace, you can set up an alias in your dotfiles if necessary, but I dont want to get into limiting the name to a character limit; these names can provide a lot of information and you can always do an alias if necessary.

my_kube_ps1_alias() {
case $1 in
super-long-name) echo short;;
*) echo $1;;
esac
}

PS1='\u @ \h $(my_kube_ps1_alias $KUBE_PS1_CONTEXT) $>'

Check #24 as well.

Interesting. Thanks

these names can provide a lot of information - I know, that's why I propose an option (disabled by default). For our env with lots of clusters I always know that 1st 10 chars will show where am I, so I would use it.

Do you like the idea about using the alias like I proposed?
