Support for KUBECONFIG #50

joa commented 6 years ago

kubectl uses the KUBECONFIG environment variable. It would be great if kube-shell would honor it as well.

About KUBECONFIG: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/configure-access-multiple-clusters/#set-the-kubeconfig-environment-variable

kube-shell>

Expected behavior:

kube-shell follows path(s) as defined in $KUBECONFIG.
