Run kubectl in a workspace

Use a kubectl provider when you want one Kubernetes client version pinned to the workspace.

Add the provider

tinx init cluster-admin
tinx provider add tinx/kubectl as kubectl

Run kubectl through tinx

tinx --workspace cluster-admin -- kubectl version --client
tinx --workspace cluster-admin -- kubectl get pods -A

Mix host credentials with provider binaries

tinx does not replace your kubeconfig flow. Keep using the normal Kubernetes environment variables and config files:

export KUBECONFIG=$HOME/.kube/config
tinx --workspace cluster-admin -- kubectl config current-context

Inspect the selected version

tinx --workspace cluster-admin status
tinx provider list cluster-admin

Use this approach when you want a team-wide kubectl version without asking every workstation to manage the same binary separately.
