kubectx [options] [context]

kubectx is a utility for rapidly switching between Kubernetes contexts defined in your kubeconfig file. It provides a much faster alternative to running `kubectl config use-context` by reducing context switching to a single command, and it supports interactive fuzzy selection through fzf integration when no argument is provided.
The tool can list all available contexts, switch to a named context or toggle back to the previously active one with `-`, rename contexts, and delete them. It is particularly useful when managing multiple clusters, as it eliminates the verbose kubectl config commands that would otherwise be needed to navigate between development, staging, and production environments.
