However it doesn't seem like it's actually doing anything

kube-shell> alias kc='kubectl'
kube-shell> kc get po
/bin/sh: kc: command not found

Thanks for reporting. Will see how to fix this. Typing kubectl is painful, either get rid of it or support alias.

Here is some alias i use multiple times per day, might be usefull for some

• kc = kubectl
• kcc = kubectl create
• kcd = kubectl delete
• kccf = kubectl create -f
• kcdf = kubectl delete -f

My suggestion would be either implement support aliases of if not to much work, add a option in kube-shell where you can set your own name replacement for "kubectl" for example "kc" instead

Cheers!
