+Kubernetes prompt for zsh
+=========================
+
+A Kubernetes (k8s) zsh prompt that displays the current cluster cluster
+and the namespace.
+
+Inspired by several tools used to simplify usage of kubectl
+
+NOTE: If you are not using zsh, check out [kube-ps1](https://github.com/jonmosco/kube-ps1) designed for bash
+as well as zsh.
+
+## Requirements
+
+The default prompt assumes you have the kubectl command line utility installed. It
+can be obtained here:
+
+[Install and Set up kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/)
+
+If using this with OpenShift, the oc tool needs installed. It can be obtained from here:
+
+[OC Client Tools](https://www.openshift.org/download.html)
+
+## Helper utilities
+
+There are several great tools that make using kubectl very enjoyable.
+
+[kubectx and kubenx](https://github.com/ahmetb/kubectx) are great for
+fast switching between clusters and namespaces.
+
+## Prompt Structure
+
+The prompt layout is:
+
+```
+(<logo>|<cluster>:<namespace>)
+```
+
+Supported platforms:
+* k8s - Kubernetes
+* ocp - OpenShift
+
+## Install
+
+1. Clone this repository
+2. Source the kube-ps1.zsh in your ~./.zshrc
+
+ZSH:
+```
+source path/kube-ps1.sh
+PROMPT='$(kube_ps1) '
+```
+
+## Colors
+
+The colors are of my opinion. Blue was used as the prefix to match the Kubernetes
+color as closely as possible. Red was chosen as the cluster name to stand out, and cyan
+for the namespace. These can of course be changed.
+
+## Customization
+
+The default settings can be overridden in ~/.zshrc
+
+| Variable | Default | Meaning |
+| :------- | :-----: | ------- |
+| `KUBE_PS1_DEFAULT` | `true` | Default settings for the prompt |
+| `KUBE_PS1_PREFIX` | `(` | Prompt opening character |
+| `KUBE_PS1_DEFAULT_LABEL` | `⎈ ` | Default prompt symbol |
+| `KUBE_PS1_SEPERATOR` | `\|` | Separator between symbol and cluster name |
+| `KUBE_PS1_PLATFORM` | `kubectl` | Cluster type and binary to use |
+| `KUBE_PS1_DIVIDER` | `:` | Separator between cluster and namespace |
+| `KUBE_PS1_SUFFIX` | `)` | Prompt closing character |
+| `KUBE_PS1_DEFAULT_LABEL_IMG` | `false` | Use Kubernetes img as the label: ☸️ |
