Cluster connection -- Using an existing kube context

Helmsman can use any predefined kube context in the environment. All you need to do is set the context name in the settings stanza.

[settings]
  kubeContext = "minikube"

settings:
  kubeContext: "minikube"

In the examples above, Helmsman tries to set the kube context to minikube. If that fails, it will attempt to create that kube context. Creating kube context requires more information provided. See this guide for more details on creating a context with certs or here for details on creating context with bearer token.
