## kubectl config set

Sets an individual value in a kubeconfig file

### Synopsis



Sets an individual value in a kubeconfig file
PROPERTY_NAME is a dot delimited name where each token represents either an attribute name or a map key.  Map keys may not contain dots.
PROPERTY_VALUE is the new value you wish to set. Binary fields such as 'certificate-authority-data' expect a base64 encoded string unless the --set-raw-bytes flag is used.

```
kubectl config set PROPERTY_NAME PROPERTY_VALUE
```

### Options

```
      --set-raw-bytes value[=true]   When writing a []byte PROPERTY_VALUE, write the given string directly without base64 decoding.
```
