# cldkctl config

The config command retrieves the Kubernetes configuration file (kubeconfig) used for authentication and cluster access within your Cloudeka project. By default, the configuration file is printed directly to the console, allowing you to view or copy it manually.

## Usage

```
cldkctl config [flags]
```

## Steps

Follow the steps below to run and view the result of this command:

1. Identify your Project ID from the project list (if required for your environment).
2. Run the config command to retrieve the Kubernetes configuration file:

```
./cldkctl config
```

3. Use the --project flag to specify a project ID:

```
./cldkctl config --project
```

4. To save the kubeconfig file to a specific path, use the --output flag:

```
./cldkctl config --output ~/Downloads/kubeconfig.yaml
```

5. The command will either print the kubeconfig content in your terminal or save it to the provided file path.
