Keeps track of where your kubeconfigs live

A lot of tools rely on your kubeconfig and some people do not like using contexts other than for namespaces. This is true for people with multiple clusters and wanting to verify exactly what clusters they are currently accessing.

plotter's set up and use relies on a plotter folder located at .kube/plotter by default. Plotter has two files at a time, the active file with its alias and backup. When you switch plotter files plotter checks backup and the active file for changes and asks you which one you want to keep.
