k8s-unused-secret-detector: Delete unused secrets in a specific namespace.
$ k8s-unused-secret-detector -n ${namespace} | kubectl delete secret -n ${namespace}
try on your machine

This command is a combination of two separate commands piped together using the "|" (pipe) symbol:

  1. k8s-unused-secret-detector -n ${namespace}: This is a command that is using the "k8s-unused-secret-detector" tool to identify any unused secrets in the specified Kubernetes namespace. It is passed the "-n" flag with a value of "${namespace}" to specify the namespace.

  2. kubectl delete secret -n ${namespace}: This command uses the "kubectl" tool to delete the secrets found by the previous command. It uses the "delete secret" command with the "-n" flag and "${namespace}" value to specify the namespace in which the secrets should be deleted.

By piping the output of the first command to the second command, any unused secrets detected by the "k8s-unused-secret-detector" will be automatically deleted using the "kubectl delete secret" command.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
