kd is a bash script that decodes Kubernetes secrets. It makes it easy to view the contents of secrets stored in a Kubernetes cluster.

There are alternatives to this script, but they are either not maintained or require way too many dependencies.

Prerequisites

Before you can use kd, you need to have the following installed:

• kubectl: the Kubernetes command-line tool
• yq: a YAML parser and processor

Installation

Option 1: Install with Homebrew (macOS and Linux)

If you're using macOS or Linux, you can install kd using Homebrew. To do so, run the following command:

brew install shini4i/tap/kd

Option 2: Install manually

To install kd manually, download the src/kd.sh script and add it to your PATH. You can do this by running the following commands:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shini4i/kd/main/src/kd.sh -o kd
chmod +x kd
sudo mv kd /usr/local/bin/

Usage

Here are some examples of how to use kd:

# Decode a secret in the current namespace
kd my-secret

# Decode a secret in a specific namespace
kd my-secret my-namespace
