Kubernetes Release Tooling
This repo contains the tooling and infrastructure configurations for creating Kubernetes releases from the kubernetes/kubernetes main repository.
There are several scripts and helpers in this repository a Release Manager will find useful when managing all kinds of releases (alpha, beta, official, rc) across branches.
Golang-based tools can be built via the compile-release-tools script.
Individual tools can be installed via go install k8s.io/release/cmd/$TOOL@latest.
