## kubectl config set-credentials

Sets a user entry in .kubeconfig

### Synopsis

Sets a user entry in .kubeconfig

  Specifying a name that already exists will merge new fields on top of existing
  values. For example, the following only sets the "client-key" field on the 
  "cluster-admin" entry, without touching other values:

    set-credentials cluster-admin --client-key=~/.kube/admin.key

  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 [--auth-path=authfile] [--client-certificate=certfile] [--client-key=keyfile] [--token=bearer_token] [--username=basic_user] [--password=basic_password]

### Options
