Kontext is a single binary application, that takes yet another approach on kubeconfig management.
Kontext has several features, that will ease your life when dealing with different kubeconfig files.
Switch between a context by just calling the binary, without any arguments. It will read your current kubeconfig file and list all available options.
Groups refer to one or more sources and can be used to bundle kubeconfig files together. You can switch between groups and enable or disable multiple sources at once.
Source include or exclude kubeconfig files as a glob pattern. A source always computes all included sources files first and then removes all duplicates. After the include section has been computed the same happens for all files, that shall be excluded. Take a look at the example to understand sources in depth.

Have a look at the example. It should be well described and show you how to configure kontext. Kontext will look at different paths for the configuration file, depending on your operating system:
| Linux | MacOS | Windows |
|---|---|---|
| ~/.config/kontext/kontext.yaml | ~/.config/kontext/kontext.yaml | LocalAppData\kontext\kontext.yaml |
