The create configmap command creates a new ConfigMap in the Kubernetes cluster. This command allows defining key-value pairs, labels, and annotations used for configuration data storage.

## Usage

```
cldkctl create configmap [flags]
```

## Steps

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

1. Prepare a YAML file that defines the ConfigMap configuration.
2. Save this file in the same directory where you will run the `cldkctl` command.
3. Use the `--file` flag to point to the YAML file.
4. (Optional) To specify a namespace or project, add the `--default-namespace` or `--project` flag.
5. Run the following command in your terminal:

```
cldkctl create configmap --file [configmap file name]
```

6. Replace `[configmap file name]` with the path to your YAML configuration file.
7. Once completed successfully, a message “✓ ConfigMap created“ will appear in your terminal.
