Thanks, that's part of the problem. The other part, and apparently the one that is producing the syntax error I saw, is the user of the hyphen in the function name. Replacing those with underscores solves the problem.

set_k8s_minikube() { export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config.minikube; } works.

Hmm, function name with hyphens is OK for me on bash v4.3.48

Even the Bash 3.2.57 on my Mac supports hyphens in function names.
