[Feature Request] - kubectl "protocol"

[knpwrs]

Description

It would be really cool to be able to browse and copy files to/from services running in kubernetes using termscp. I imagine an initial remote screen could be a listing of namespaces, and when you drill in you can see pods or services running in that namespace, and then you can navigate the file system like normal.

Changes

A kubectl "protocol" would need to be added to termscp.

Implementation

You can copy files to and from pods running on kubernetes like such:

kubectl cp --namespace prod ./local/path pod-name:./remote/path

Remote files can be listed like such:

kubectl exec --namespace prod --stdin --tty pod-name -- ls ./remote/path

Namespaces can be listed as such:

kubectl get namespaces

Using these (and other) commands it should be possible to implement a kubectl protocol to be able to browse and copy files to/from services running in kubernetes.

I currently use navi to do very similar things for my running services, just with fuzzy-finding rather than a TUI: https://github.com/knpwrs/dotfiles/blob/f08642f35fe224949ad0c3a959dbe1d3ec24e6f4/home/config/navi/k8s.cheat
