Listing Installed Plugins

To list all plugins installed via Krew, run:

$ kubectl krew list

You can list all installed kubectl plugins (including those not installed via Krew) using:

$ kubectl plugin list

Backing up plugin list

When you pipe or redirect the kubectl krew list command’s output to another file or command, it will return a list of plugin names installed, e.g.:

$ kubectl krew list | tee backup.txt
access-matrix
whoami
tree

You can then install the list of plugins from the file (on another machine, for example) by feeding the file to the install command over standard input (stdin):

$ kubectl krew install < backup.txt
