stackit-cli Merge kube context into existing config

It would be a great improvement if we could get some sort of merge option for creating kubeconfigs instead of OVERWRITE by default.

e.g.

stackit ske kubeconfig create k8s-xxx-01 --merge

Hi @h3adex,

Thanks for reaching out, that is a good suggestion. We will add the topic to our backlog.

We still have it in our backlog and will look at prioritising it higher.

I created the PR https://github.com/stackitcloud/stackit-cli/pull/557/files to merge the kubeonfig instead of overwrite it.

I did it using the command kubeconfig create. I am thinking it would be better to add a new subcommand like kubeconfig get-credentials

What do you think ?

Hi @fjvela,

Thanks for your contribution. I've discussed the change from overwrite to merge with the SKE team. We prefer to have the option to overwrite the kubeconfig as well. Could you please add a flag --overwrite to this command to overwrite a kubeconfig instead of merging it? You can keep the command as kubeconfig create.
