kubectl-edit: Edit a resource using a specific editor.

KUBE_EDITOR=${nano}

$ KUBE_EDITOR=${nano} kubectl edit ${resource}/${resource_name}

try on your machine

This command is used for editing Kubernetes resources using the kubectl command-line tool.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

KUBE_EDITOR=${nano}: This sets an environment variable KUBE_EDITOR to the value ${nano}. The value ${nano} is a placeholder, most likely intended to be replaced with the actual path to the nano editor executable. nano is a text editor commonly available on Unix-like systems.
kubectl edit ${resource}/${resource_name}: This is the kubectl command for editing a Kubernetes resource. It takes two arguments: ${resource} and ${resource_name}. The values of these placeholders should be replaced with the specific resource type (e.g., pod, deployment, etc.) and the name of the resource you want to edit, respectively.

By setting the KUBE_EDITOR environment variable before running the kubectl edit command, you can specify the text editor to be used for modifying the resource's configuration. In this case, it seems like nano is being used, but it's important to confirm the correct path to the nano executable or replace ${nano} with the actual path.

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.
