### Synopsis
displays Merged kubeconfig settings or a specified kubeconfig file.

# Show Merged kubeconfig settings.
$ kubectl config view
# Get the password for the e2e user
$ kubectl config view -o template --template='{{range .users}}{{ if eq .name "e2e" }}{{ index .user.password }}{{end}}{{end}}'
```
### Options
```
--flatten[=false]: flatten the resulting kubeconfig file into self contained output (useful for creating portable kubeconfig files)
-h, --help[=false]: help for view
--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.
