2025 Report: Destructive Malware in Open Source Packages
Destructive malware is rising across open source registries, using delays and kill switches to wipe code, break builds, and disrupt CI/CD.
kn-plugin-operator is a plugin of Knative Client, for managing Knative with Knative Operator from the
command line.
With this plugin, you can install/uninstall Knative Operator, install/uninstall Knative components, and configure Knative.
You must set up your development environment before you build.
Building:
Once you've set up your development environment, let's build the plugin.
$ go build -o kn-operator ./cmd/kn-operator.go
You'll get an executable plugin binary namely kn-operator in your current dir.
You're ready to use kn-operator as a stand alone binary, check the available
commands ./kn-operator -h.
Installing:
If you'd like to use the plugin with kn CLI, install the plugin by simply
copying the executable file under kn plugins directory as:
mkdir -p ~/.config/kn/plugins
cp kn-operator ~/.config/kn/plugins
Note: The plugins directory defaults to
$base_dir/pluginsrelative to your kn config file location.On Windows, the default plugins directory is in
%APPDATA%\kn\plugins
Check if plugin is loaded
kn -h
Run it
kn operator -h
You can use the built binary to run the commands. You can also use the bash scripts directly to run your commands. All the bash scripts are available under the directory scripts.
