Kubectl

kubectl logo

Build Status GoDoc

The k8s.io/kubectl repo is used to track issues for the kubectl cli distributed with k8s.io/kubernetes. It also contains packages intended for use by client programs. E.g. these packages are vendored into k8s.io/kubernetes for use in the kubectl cli client. That client will eventually move here too.

Contribution Requirements

  • Full unit-test coverage.

  • Go tools compliant (go get, go test, etc.). It needs to be vendorable somewhere else.

  • No dependence on k8s.io/kubernetes. Dependence on other repositories is fine.

  • Code must be usefully commented. Not only for developers on the project, but also for external users of these packages.

  • When reviewing PRs, you are encouraged to use Golang's code review comments page.

  • Packages in this repository should aspire to implement sensible, small interfaces and import a limited set of dependencies.
