kubectl-view-secret

This plugin allows for easy secret decoding. Useful if you want to see what's inside of a secret without always go through the following:

1. kubectl get secret <secret> -o yaml
2. Copy base64 encoded secret
3. echo "b64string" | base64 -d

Instead you can now do:

# print secret keys
kubectl view-secret <secret>

# decode specific entry
kubectl view-secret <secret> <key>

# decode all contents
kubeclt view-secret <secret> -a/--all

# print keys for secret in different namespace
kubectl view-secret <secret> -n/--namespace <ns>

# print keys for secret in different context
kubectl view-secret <secret> -c/--context <ctx>

# suppress info output
kubectl view-secret <secret> -q/--quiet
