Plugins

How to contribute a plugin

First of all, thank you for considering to contribute a kn plugin. That's so awesome, and we love contributions!

Before you start to craft a pull request, please consider to perform the following step:

  • Enter the Knative #cli slack and discuss you plugin idea there first.
  • When creating a PR, please follow the following process:
    • Copy over the plugin from the directory plugins/hello to a new directory with your plugins short name (i.e. the command name), also below plugins/. E.g. plugins/awesome if you are about to create a kn-awesome plugin enriching kn with a kn awesome command.
    • Put your code in the pkg/ and cmd/ directories, similar to the existing code.
    • Check and adapt the top-level comments and variables in hack/build.sh to reflect your plugins settings.
    • Adapt and add to the README.md which is supposed to serve as full documentation for your plugin. See the example section given there and replace it with the content for your plugin. Especially reference documentation is required as well as an example section.
    • Adapt the approved in the OWNERS file to fill in the maintainers of your plugin, but also leave the existing folks in that file (as a fallback)
    • Be sure that your plugin is entire self-contained. I.e. it must not depend on anything above its directory and should set up its dependencies.
  • Work with the reviewers to get your PR integrated.

Please note that all plugins in this repository share the same release cycle and release cadence, which is currently six weeks together with the Knative client release.
