Include support kube-ps1 in tools

[nitishkumar71]

We want to include support of kube-ps1 in arkade get

Expected Behaviour

arkade get does not provides installation support of kube-ps1

Current Behaviour

arkade get should provides installation support of kube-ps1

Possible Solution

Include kube-ps1 as another tool in arkade

@patbi would like to work on it?

As this is a shell script, so it will work on all unix/linux version. Prevent it's installation on windows. You need to append it in the list of tools in https://github.com/alexellis/arkade/blob/master/pkg/get/tools.go

Hello @nitishkumar71 of course how can I contribute.

[nitishkumar71]

Look at this section, arkade provides easy way to install a lot of tools.

We want to add support of kube-ps1. You need to add support into tools file. Follow the contribution guidelines to know about how to contribute.

@nitishkumar71 I went through contribution guidelines

and joined the community

[patbi]

@nitishkumar71 my concern is how to contribute to add support in the tool file

Thank you.

[nitishkumar71]

@patbi You can look at this example, where we have added support for istio in arkade using go template.

@nitishkumar71 Great I look at.

Hey! I tried arkade yesterday and felt also the need to have support for kube-ps1. I already forked the project and added the support for kube-ps1. You can find my changes here: https://github.com/andreppires/arkade/commit/ec95a3c2a00b6f6179b45c51c6950b9c8345884f

The only thing I would like to add is documentation on how to set up the terminal to make use of the kube-ps1. Is there a way to prompt that information to the user when he does arkade get kube-ps1?

[nitishkumar71]

@andreppires if you install any tool, arkade alredy provides generic steps for setup. Are there any other instructions you want to include?

Also please raise the PR, it will help team to review it. You can keep PR in WIP state.

Hey @nitishkumar71 Maybe the problem here is that kube-ps1 in not a tool like kops or kubectx etc. It is a script that lets you add the current Kubernetes context and namespace configured on kubectl to your Bash/Zsh prompt strings. So maybe it does not fit in the purposes of arkade.

The steps I suggest to add is about setting up zsh or bash to show the k8s context and namespace. Like for zsh:

# Update .zshrc
source /path/to/kube-ps1.sh
PROMPT='$(kube_ps1)'$PROMPT
