Set default namespace

How to set the default namespace

This is usefull if you work in a special namespace for many commands/tasks

kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=<namespace>

kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=nginx

Set default editor

How to set the default editor

If you use the command "kubectl edit" you may not want to use vi as editor, so you can expose your preferred editor with a normal environment variable expose.

expose EDITOR=<your prefered editor>
