kubectl config set-credentials [page]deterministic

##

Set a user entry in kubeconfig.

Specifying a name that already exists will merge new fields on top of existing values.

Client-certificate flags: --client-certificate=certfile --client-key=keyfile Bearer token flags: --token=bearer_token Basic auth flags: --username=basic_user --password=basic_password Bearer token and basic auth are mutually exclusive.

``` kubectl config set-credentials NAME [--client-certificate=path/to/certfile] [--client-key=path/to/keyfile] [--token=bearer_token] [--username=basic_user] [--password=basic_password] [--auth-provider=provider_name] [--auth-provider-arg=key=value] [--exec-command=exec_command] [--exec-api-version=exec_api_version] [--exec-arg=arg] [--exec-env=key=value] ```
