  • An OpenAI API key
    • OpenAI API keys can be obtained from OpenAI
    • You can set the API key for k8sgpt using ./k8sgpt auth key
  • If you want to build the container image, you need to have a container engine (docker, podman, rancher, etc.) installed

Getting Started

Where should I start?

  • If you are new to the project, please check out the good first issue label.
  • If you are looking for something to work on, check out our open issues.
  • If you have an idea for a new feature, please open an issue, and we can discuss it.
  • We are also happy to help you find something to work on. Just reach out to us.

Getting in touch with the community

  • Join our #k8sgpt slack channel
  • Introduce yourself on the slack channel or open an issue to let us know that you are interested in contributing

Discuss issues

  • Before you start working on something, propose and discuss your solution on the issue
  • If you are unsure about something, ask the community

How do I contribute?

  • Fork the repository and clone it locally
  • Create a new branch and follow conventional commits guidelines for work undertaken
  • Assign yourself to the issue, if you are working on it (if you are not a member of the organization, please leave a comment on the issue)
  • Make your changes
  • Keep pull requests small and focused, if you have multiple changes, please open multiple PRs
  • Create a pull request back to the upstream repository and follow the pull request template guidelines.
  • Wait for a review and address any comments

Opening PRs

  • As long as you are working on your PR, please mark it as a draft
  • Please make sure that your PR is up-to-date with the latest changes in main
  • Fill out the PR template
  • Mention the issue that your PR is addressing (closes: #)
  • Make sure that your PR passes all checks

Reviewing PRs

  • Be respectful and constructive
  • Assign yourself to the PR
  • Check if all checks are passing
  • Suggest changes instead of simply commenting on found issues
  • If you are unsure about something, ask the author
  • If you are not sure if the changes work, try them out
  • Reach out to other reviewers if you are unsure about something
  • If you are happy with the changes, approve the PR
  • Merge the PR once it has all approvals and the checks are passing

DCO

We have a DCO check which runs on every PR to verify that the commit has been signed off.

To sign off the last commit you made, you can use

git commit --amend --signoff

You can also automate signing off your commits by adding the following to your .zshrc or .bashrc:

git() {
  if [ $# -gt 0 ] && [[ "$1" == "commit" ]] ; then
     shift
     command git commit --signoff "$@"
  else
     command git "$@"
  fi
}

Semantic commits

We use Semantic Commits to make it easier to understand what a commit does and to build pretty changelogs. Please use the following prefixes for your commits:

  • feat: A new feature
  • fix: A bug fix
  • docs: Documentation changes
  • chores: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries such as documentation generation
  • refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
  • test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
  • ci: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts

An example for this could be:

git commit -m "docs: add a new section to the README"

Building

Building the binary is as simple as running go build . in the root of the repository. If you want to build the container image, you can run docker build -t k8sgpt -f container/Dockerfile . in the root of the repository.

Releasing

Releases of k8sgpt are done using Release Please and GoReleaser. The workflow looks like this:

  • A PR is merged to the main branch:

    • Release please is triggered, creates or updates a new release PR
    • This is done with every merge to main, the current release PR is updated every time

  • Merging the 'release please' PR to main:

    • Release please is triggered, creates a new release and updates the changelog based on the commit messages
    • GoReleaser is triggered, builds the binaries and attaches them to the release
    • Containers are created and pushed to the container registry

With the next relevant merge, a new release PR will be created and the process starts again

Manually setting the version

If you want to manually set the version, you can create a PR with an empty commit message that contains the version number in the commit message. For example:

Such a commit can get produced as follows: git commit --allow-empty -m "chore: release 0.0.3" -m "Release-As: 0.0.3
