# kubectl-action GitHub Action to manage a K8s (Kubernetes) cluster using kubectl. ## Usage To use this action, add the following step to your GitHub Action workflow: ```yaml - uses: tale/kubectl-action@v1 with: base64-kube-config: ${{ secrets.KUBE_CONFIG }} ``` Keep in mind that the action expects a base64 encoded string of your Kubernetes configuration. The simplest way to do that is to run `cat $HOME/.kube/config | base64` and save that output as an action secret. It's also possible to specify the version of the [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/) CLI to use. The current default release used by this action is the latest version. ```yaml - uses: tale/kubectl-action@v1 with: base64-kube-config: ${{ secrets.KUBE_CONFIG }} kubectl-version: v1.22.0 ``` Once you've completed this setup, you have direct access to the `kubectl` binary and command in the rest of your actions. Here's a full example to give you some inspiration: ```yaml name: Kubectl Action on: workflow_dispatch: jobs: build: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: tale/kubectl-action@v1 with: base64-kube-config: ${{ secrets.KUBE_CONFIG }} - run: kubectl get pods ```
