Answer 1

If you want to merge two config files in a single one

I found this way (not sure if this is the simplest)

# Add the two config files to the env var
export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config:~/Desktop/configFile2.yaml

# Review that you have two configurations in one view
kubectl config view

# View the raw config and output to a new file
kubectl config view --raw > /tmp/config

Then copy the new config file where you want, also do not forget to unset KUBECONFIG the env variable
