Customizing kn

    • If the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is set, the default configuration location that kn looks for is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kn.
    • If the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is not set, kn looks for the configuration in the home directory of the user at $HOME/.config/kn/config.yaml.

    Where

    • specifies whether kn should look for in the PATH environment variable. This is a boolean configuration option (default: true). Note: the path-lookup option has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version where path lookup will be enabled unconditionally.
    • directory specifies the directory where kn will look for plugins. The default path depends on the operating system, as described earlier. This can be any directory that is visible to the user (default: $base_dir/plugins, where $base_dir is the directory where this configuration file is stored).
    • sink-mappings defines the Kubernetes Addressable resource that is used when you use the --sink flag with a CLI command.
      • group: The API group of the Kubernetes resource.
      • version: The version of the Kubernetes resource.
      • resource: The lowercased, plural name of the Kubernetes resource type. For example, services or brokers.
