How to view full details (like a token) of context

I created a context in Kubernetes with:

kubectl config set-context --token="<JWY_token>" myservice-context


When I run:

kubectl config get-contexts


I see all the contexts:

CURRENT NAME CLUSTER AUTHINFO NAMESPACE
* minikube minikube minikube
myservice-context


I want to see more details about myservice-context. For example, I want to see the token I just pass it while creating it.
I tried to run get-context with the name of my service but it doesn't provide the full details:

myservice-context

get-context

$ kubectl config get-contexts myservice-context
CURRENT NAME CLUSTER AUTHINFO NAMESPACE
myservice-context


How can I see the full details of the context (such as the token) ?

kubectl config view will show you, though it hides some fields (like the very long embedded TLS certificates).

kubectl config view

If that's not enough information, by default the data is stored in a single YAML file, on Linux/MacOS in ~/.kube/config, and you can open that up in a text editor.

~/.kube/config

cat ~/.kube/config

--token=<JWY_token>

~/.kube/config

set-context

--token

REDACTED

kubectl config view

--show-all

kubeadm token list

kubeadm token create
