I have many contexts, one for staging, one for production, and many for dev clusters. Copy and pasting the default cluster names is tedious and hard, especially over time. How can I rename them to make context switching easier?

2 Answers

Renaming contexts is easy!

$ kubectl config rename-context old-name new-name

Confirm the change by 

$ kubectl config get-contexts

If you are using kubectx try

kubectx new-context-name=old-context-name
