-Kubectl is a command line interface for running commands against Kubernetes clusters.
+Kubectl is a command line interface for running commands against Kubernetes clusters. `kubectl` looks for a file named config in the $HOME/.kube directory. You can specify other [kubeconfig](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/organize-cluster-access-kubeconfig/) files by setting the KUBECONFIG environment variable or by setting the [`--kubeconfig`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/organize-cluster-access-kubeconfig/) flag.

 This overview covers `kubectl` syntax, describes the command operations, and provides common examples. For details about each command, including all the supported flags and subcommands, see the [kubectl](/docs/reference/generated/kubectl/kubectl-commands/) reference documentation. For installation instructions see [installing kubectl](/docs/tasks/kubectl/install/).
