## Historique du projet et usages

ktop is a terminal dashboard for Kubernetes clusters, explicitly modeled after Unix top-style tools. It continuously displays node, pod, and container metrics and lets users drill from cluster overview into workload details and logs.

### Historique du projet

The GitHub repository was created on 2016-12-29. The project documentation describes ktop as a local, single-binary tool that connects through the Kubernetes API using the same kubeconfig credentials that kubectl uses.

The project evolved around a specific gap in the Kubernetes CLI experience: `kubectl top` gives a snapshot, while ktop keeps an interactive terminal display open and supports hierarchical navigation through nodes, pods, containers, and logs.

### Historique d'adoption

ktop is distributed through Kubernetes-native and general package-manager channels: the documentation lists installation as a kubectl plugin through krew, through Homebrew, through `go install`, through Docker, and through GitHub release binaries.

Its adoption path is tied to operators and developers who want live cluster inspection without installing agents or server-side components.

### Modes d'utilisation

ktop uses `$KUBECONFIG` or `~/.kube/config`, supports context and namespace selection, and can use Prometheus scraping, Kubernetes Metrics Server, or a no-metrics fallback that shows resource requests and limits.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

ktop is package-nerd notable as a Kubernetes-era reinterpretation of a classic Unix admin interface. It also shows how kubectl plugins, Go single binaries, Homebrew formulae, and container images can all distribute the same cluster-ops tool.

### Chronologie

- 2016-12-29: vladimirvivien/ktop repository created on GitHub.
- 2026-06-24: GitHub repository metadata recorded ongoing updates to the project.
- 2026: Project documentation described krew, Homebrew, Docker, Go install, and binary-release installation paths.

### Related projects

- ktop is related to kubectl top, the krew plugin manager, Kubernetes Metrics Server, Prometheus, cAdvisor/kubelet metrics endpoints, and other terminal cluster dashboards.
