k8sec: Set a base64-encoded value.

k8sec

$ k8sec set --base64 ${secret_name} ${key=encoded_value}

try on your machine

This command is used in conjunction with the k8sec tool to set a secret in a Kubernetes cluster.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

k8sec: This is the command-line tool being used to interact with Kubernetes secrets.
set: This is the command to set a new secret.
--base64: This flag specifies that the value being set is encoded using base64. Base64 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that is commonly used to represent binary data in ASCII format.
${secret_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the secret being set. You would replace ${secret_name} with the actual name of the secret.
${key=encoded_value}: This is another placeholder for the key-value pair being set in the secret. You would replace ${key=encoded_value} with the actual key-value pair. The key would be the name of the secret, and encoded_value refers to the base64-encoded value that you want to set for that key.

In summary, this command sets a new secret in a Kubernetes cluster using the k8sec tool, with the value being encoded in base64.
