kube-ps1 VS kubectx

I meant bash/zsh PS1 prompt. Not PowerShell :) Check this out https://github.com/jonmosco/kube-ps1

I use kube-ps1 to put cluster info in my shell prompt.

kube-ps1: Kubernetes prompt for bash and zsh

kube-ps1 🥇 ⌛ - ZSH plugin for kubectl that adds current context and namespace.

This is the PS1 I've been using for a long time. Note it needs the git-prompt.sh script (usually comes with the bash-completion) package, and the kube-ps1 script: https://github.com/jonmosco/kube-ps1

kubectx + kubens v0.9.4

For a peek at what's currently possible, visit the documentation site, in particular the Usage section. For this initial release, it has feature parity with kubectx and kubens and that's about it, but there's lots of room for growth.

I also encourage you to install kubectx + kubens to navigate Kubernetes easily.
