How do you switch the current namespace for subsequent OC commands without re-authenticating?

• A. oc config set-context --current --namespace=<namespace>.
• B. oc project <namespace>.
• C. oc login --namespace <namespace>.
• D. oc use-context <namespace>.

Answer: (B)

You switch the current namespace by changing the active project in your kubeconfig context. Running the command to set the current project to the desired namespace updates the context so subsequent OC commands operate in that namespace without needing to log in again—the credentials you already have remain valid, and only the target namespace changes. The direct project-switching command is the simplest, most common way to achieve this. Other approaches can also switch the namespace, but they’re either less typical or not valid in this exact form (for example, logging with a namespace does not switch your active namespace, and using a non-context-only command isn’t the standard path).
