Special notes for your reviewer:
Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?
NONE
Additional documentation e.g., KEPs (Kubernetes Enhancement Proposals), usage docs, etc.:
Currently, users have to do extra work to get the config-path value from KUBECONFIG env. The Go client library expects a single value, but the system environment variables for KUBECONFIG are separated by colons. Let's make the Go client accept the KUBECONFIG env value readily. This would make it consistent with how the system handles these variables and make things easier for developers
var kubeconfig string
if envVar := os.Getenv("KUBECONFIG"); envVar != "" {
kubeconfig = envVar
}
config, err := clientcmd.BuildConfigFromFlags("", kubeconfig)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
clientset, err := kubernetes.NewForConfig(config)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}

Thank you, and welcome to Kubernetes. :smiley:
Hi @ajinkyak423. Thanks for your PR.
I'm waiting for a kubernetes member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.
Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.
I understand the commands that are listed here.
