To create a TKG management cluster context using a kubeconfig path and context:
tanzu context create my-management-cluster --kubeconfig PATH-TO-KUBECONFIG --kubecontext KUBECONFIG-CONTEXT

To create a TKG management cluster context using the default kubeconfig path and a kubeconfig context:
tanzu context create my-management-cluster --kubecontext KUBECONFIG-CONTEXT
