Table of Contents
The developer guide is for anyone wanting to either write code which directly accesses the Kubernetes API, or to contribute directly to the Kubernetes project. It assumes some familiarity with concepts in the User Guide and the Cluster Admin Guide.
The process of developing and contributing code to the Kubernetes project
-
Contributor Guide (Please start here) to learn about how to contribute to Kubernetes
-
GitHub Issues (/contributors/guide/issue-triage.md): How incoming issues are triaged.
-
Pull Request Process (/contributors/guide/pull-requests.md): When and why pull requests are closed.
-
Getting Recent Builds (getting-builds.md): How to get recent builds including the latest builds that pass CI.
-
Automated Tools (automation.md): Descriptions of the automation that is running on our github repository.

Testing (testing.md): How to run unit, integration, and end-to-end tests in your development sandbox.
-
Conformance Testing (conformance-tests.md) What is conformance testing and how to create/manage them.
-
Hunting flaky tests (flaky-tests.md): We have a goal of 99.9% flake free tests. Here's how to run your tests many times.

Developing against the Kubernetes API
