Setup iTerm2 badge for kubectl current context

This is useful if you use the kubectl in iTerm2 and would like to see the current context in iTerm2 badge.

1. Run curl -L https://iterm2.com/shell_integration/install_shell_integration.sh | bash to install the shell integration
2. Open iTerm2 Settings -> Profiles
3. Update the Badge with \(user.badge)
4. Update the ~/.zprofile

# ~/.zprofile
function iterm2_print_user_vars() {
  unset badge
  kubectl config current-context >/dev/null 2>&1 && {
    badge=$(kubectl config current-context)
    iterm2_set_user_var badge "$badge"
  }
}

Notes:

• Using the unset badge so that if kubectl config command fails it removes the current value
• Varible name badge can be any name as long as same varible name is configured in iTerm2 profile and ~/.zprofile
