Contributing

Thank you for taking time to help to improve Package Operator!

Feel free to open issues or propose pull requests, but please keep in mind that Package Operator is still very fresh and response times for reviewing contributions may vary.

We also are not yet ready to open project management and meetings to the general public, but will try to be accommodating.

Development

The Package Operator project keeps almost all dependencies confined to the project checkout directory and manages dependencies within the project itself.

To get started hacking, you just need Go 1.18+ and podman or docker installed.

Commands and local development

Dev Note Before running mage targets run export CONTAINER_RUNTIME=docker, export CONTAINER_RUNTIME=podman if using podman, or you will get cryptic errors from mage that may lead you to think there is a problem with the kind cluster.

Package Operator uses Mage (Think make, but all targets are written in Go instead of Shell) as task manager and developer command interface.

Command	Description
./mage -l	List all available commands.
./mage dev:deploy	Creates a new cluster via kind and deploys PKO on it.
./mage dev:integration	Creates a new cluster via kind and deploys PKO on it and runs the integration test suite.
./mage dev:teardown	Tears down the local development cluster.
./mage dependency:all	Installs all project dependencies into the local checkout.
