k8sec: List a specific secret as a base64-encoded string.
$ k8sec list ${secret_name} --base64
try on your machine
The given command is used to list and display the value of a Kubernetes secret named "${secret_name}", where "${secret_name}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the secret.
The "--base64" flag is used to indicate that the output should be encoded in base64. By default, Kubernetes secrets are stored in base64-encoded format, which means that the values are encoded using a standard algorithm to convert binary data into ASCII characters. With the "--base64" flag, the command will decode the base64-encoded value of the secret before displaying it.
In summary, this command will retrieve the specified Kubernetes secret and display its value in plain text, by decoding it from base64 encoding if the "--base64" flag is used.
