This project uses Gerrit for code review: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/ which uses the “git push” workflow with server https://gerrit.googlesource.com/k8s-gerrit. You will need a generated cookie.
Gerrit depends on “Change-Id” annotations in your commit message. If you try to push a commit without one, it will explain how to install the proper git-hook:
curl -Lo `git rev-parse --git-dir`/hooks/commit-msg \
https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/tools/hooks/commit-msg
chmod +x `git rev-parse --git-dir`/hooks/commit-msg
Before you create your local commit (which you'll push to Gerrit) you will need to set your email to match your Gerrit account:
git config --local --add user.email foo@bar.com
Normally you will create code reviews by pushing for master:
git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master
When changing or creating container images, keep the image size as small as possible. This reduces storage space needed for images, the upload time and most importantly the download time, which improves startup time of pods.
Some good practices are listed here:
Chain commands: Each RUN-command creates a new layer in the docker image. Each layer increases the total image size. Thus, reducing the number of layers, can also reduce the image size.
Clean up after package installation: The package installation creates a number of cache files, which should be removed after installation. In Ubuntu/Debian- based images use the following snippet (This requires apt-get update before each package installation!):
RUN apt-get update && \ apt get install -y <packages> && \ apt-get clean && \ rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
In Alpine based images use the --no-cache-flag of apk.
Clean up temporary files immediately: If temporary files are created by a command remove them in the same command chain.
Use multi stage builds: If some complicated build processes are needed for building parts of the container image, of which only the final product is needed, use multi stage builds
When writing python code, either for tests or for scripts, use black and pylint to ensure a clean code style. They can be run by the following commands:
pipenv install --dev pipenv run black $(find . -name '*.py') pipenv run pylint $(find . -name '*.py')
