### Synopsis


Displays merged kubeconfig settings or a specified kubeconfig file.

You can use --output jsonpath={...} to extract specific values using a jsonpath expression.

```
kubectl config view
```

### Examples

```
# Show Merged kubeconfig settings.
kubectl config view

# Get the password for the e2e user
kubectl config view -o jsonpath='{.users[?(@.name == "e2e")].user.password}'
```

### Options

```
      --flatten[=false]: flatten the resulting kubeconfig file into self contained output (useful for creating portable kubeconfig files)
      --merge[=true]: merge together the full hierarchy of kubeconfig files
      --minify[=false]: remove all information not used by current-context from the output
      --no-headers[=false]: When using the default output, don't print headers.
  -o, --output="": Output format. One of: json|yaml|wide|name|go-template=...|go-template-file=...|jsonpath=...|jsonpath-file=... See golang template [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview] and jsonpath template [http://releases.k8s.io/release-1.2/docs/user-guide/jsonpath.md].
      --output-version="": Output the formatted object with the given group version (for ex: 'extensions/v1beta1').
      --raw[=false]: display raw byte data
  -a, --show-all[=false]: When printing, show all resources (default hide terminated pods.)
      --show-labels[=false]: When printing, show all labels as the last column (default hide labels column)
      --sort-by="": If non-empty, sort list types using this field specification.  The field specification is expressed as a JSONPath expression (e.g. '{.metadata.name}'). The field in the API resource specified by this JSONPath expression must be an integer or a string.
      --template="": Template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The template format is golang templates [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview].
