Architecture Override

The ASDF_KUBECTL_OVERWRITE_ARCH variable can be used to override the architecture that is used for determining which kubectl build to download. The primary use case is when attempting to install an older version of kubectl for use on an Apple M1 computer as kubectl was not built for ARM at the time.

Without ASDF_KUBECTL_OVERWRITE_ARCH:

% asdf install kubectl 1.18.17
Downloading kubectl from https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.18.17/bin/darwin/arm64/kubectl

With ASDF_KUBECTL_OVERWRITE_ARCH:

% ASDF_KUBECTL_OVERWRITE_ARCH=amd64 asdf install kubectl 1.18.17
Downloading kubectl from https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.18.17/bin/darwin/amd64/kubectl
