Modify persistent configuration values
config modifies minikube config files using subcommands like "minikube config set driver kvm2" Configurable fields:
minikube config SUBCOMMAND [flags]
--add_dir_header If true, adds the file directory to the header of the log messages
--alsologtostderr log to standard error as well as files (no effect when -logtostderr=true)
-b, --bootstrapper string The name of the cluster bootstrapper that will set up the Kubernetes cluster. (default "kubeadm")
-h, --help
