secret

The edit secret command allows you to modify an existing Secret in your Kubernetes cluster. This command lets you update key-value pairs stored in the Secret. However, note that all values must be base64-encoded when editing directly, and changes may be restricted by cluster security policies.

Usage

cldkctl edit secret [name] [flags]

Steps

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

1. Run the following command in your terminal:

./cldkctl 

1. Replace [secret name] with the name of the Secret you want to modify.

2. If the Secret is in a namespace other than default, add the -n or --namespace flag followed by the namespace name.

3. To view the list of available resources before editing, refer to the corresponding get secret section.

4. The Secret manifest file will open in your default text editor (default: vim). Edit the configuration as needed, then save and close the editor to apply the changes. If you are using vim, press i to enter insert mode and make your edits. When you have finished editing, press Esc, type :wq, and press Enter to save and exit. To exit without saving changes, type :q! and press Enter.

1. Once the update is successful, a message “✓ Secret updated” will appear in your terminal.
