I decided to install Minishift in the MacOS I’m using and during my first attempt I got the following (I pasted the full log):

Could not set oc CLI context for 'minishift' profile: Error during setting 'minishift' as active profile: The specified path to the kube config '/Users/rpsene/.minishift/machines/minishift_kubeconfig' does not exist

It took me a good amount of time to discover that doing the following solves the issue:

$ minishift stop

Cluster stopped.

$ rm -rf ~/.minishift/

And enables me to have Minishift up and running in MacOS:
