<!-- overview -->
|
||||
|
||||
SIG Docs is one of the
|
||||
[special interest groups](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-list.md)
|
||||
within the Kubernetes project, focused on writing, updating, and maintaining
|
||||
the documentation for Kubernetes as a whole. See
|
||||
[SIG Docs from the community github repo](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/sig-docs)
|
||||
for more information about the SIG.
|
||||
|
||||
SIG Docs welcomes content and reviews from all contributors. Anyone can open a
|
||||
pull request (PR), and anyone is welcome to file issues about content or comment
|
||||
on pull requests in progress.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also become a [member](/docs/contribute/participating/roles-and-responsibilities/#members),
|
||||
[reviewer](/docs/contribute/participating/roles-and-responsibilities/#reviewers), or [approver](/docs/contribute/participating/roles-and-responsibilities/#approvers). These roles require greater
|
||||
access and entail certain responsibilities for approving and committing changes.
|
||||
See [community-membership](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/community-membership.md)
|
||||
for more information on how membership works within the Kubernetes community.
|
||||
|
||||
The rest of this document outlines some unique ways these roles function within
|
||||
SIG Docs, which is responsible for maintaining one of the most public-facing
|
||||
aspects of Kubernetes -- the Kubernetes website and documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## SIG Docs chairperson
|
||||
|
||||
Each SIG, including SIG Docs, selects one or more SIG members to act as
|
||||
chairpersons. These are points of contact between SIG Docs and other parts of
|
||||
the Kubernetes organization. They require extensive knowledge of the structure
|
||||
of the Kubernetes project as a whole and how SIG Docs works within it. See
|
||||
[Leadership](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/sig-docs#leadership)
|
||||
for the current list of chairpersons.
|
||||
|
||||
## SIG Docs teams and automation
|
||||
|
||||
Automation in SIG Docs relies on two different mechanisms:
|
||||
GitHub teams and OWNERS files.
|
||||
|
||||
### GitHub teams
|
||||
|
||||
There are two categories of SIG Docs [teams](https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/teams?query=sig-docs) on GitHub:
|
||||
|
||||
- `@sig-docs-{language}-owners` are approvers and leads
|
||||
- `@sig-docs-{language}-reviewers` are reviewers
|
||||
|
||||
Each can be referenced with their `@name` in GitHub comments to communicate with
|
||||
everyone in that group.
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes Prow and GitHub teams overlap without matching exactly. For assignment of issues, pull requests, and to support PR approvals,
|
||||
the automation uses information from `OWNERS` files.
|
||||
|
||||
### OWNERS files and front-matter
|
||||
|
||||
The Kubernetes project uses an automation tool called prow for automation
|
||||
related to GitHub issues and pull requests. The
|
||||
[Kubernetes website repository](https://github.com/kubernetes/website) uses
|
||||
two [prow plugins](https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/tree/master/prow/plugins):
|
||||
|
||||
- blunderbuss
|
||||
- approve
|
||||
|
||||
These two plugins use the
|
||||
[OWNERS](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/blob/master/OWNERS) and
|
||||
[OWNERS_ALIASES](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/blob/master/OWNERS_ALIASES)
|
||||
files in the top level of the `kubernetes/website` GitHub repository to control
|
||||
how prow works within the repository.
|
||||
|
||||
An OWNERS file contains a list of people who are SIG Docs reviewers and
|
||||
approvers. OWNERS files can also exist in subdirectories, and can override who
|
||||
can act as a reviewer or approver of files in that subdirectory and its
|
||||
descendants. For more information about OWNERS files in general, see
|
||||
[OWNERS](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/guide/owners.md).
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, an individual Markdown file can list reviewers and approvers in its
|
||||
front-matter, either by listing individual GitHub usernames or GitHub groups.
|
||||
|
||||
The combination of OWNERS files and front-matter in Markdown files determines
|
||||
the advice PR owners get from automated systems about who to ask for technical
|
||||
and editorial review of their PR.
|
||||
|
||||
## How merging works
|
||||
|
||||
When a pull request is merged to the branch used to publish content, that content is published to http://kubernetes.io. To ensure that
|
||||
the quality of our published content is high, we limit merging pull requests to
|
||||
SIG Docs approvers. Here's how it works.
|
||||
|
||||
- When a pull request has both the `lgtm` and `approve` labels, has no `hold`
|
||||
labels, and all tests are passing, the pull request merges automatically.
|
||||
- Kubernetes organization members and SIG Docs approvers can add comments to
|
||||
prevent automatic merging of a given pull request (by adding a `/hold` comment
|
||||
or withholding a `/lgtm` comment).
|
||||
- Any Kubernetes member can add the `lgtm` label by adding a `/lgtm` comment.
|
||||
- Only SIG Docs approvers can merge a pull request
|
||||
by adding an `/approve` comment. Some approvers also perform additional
|
||||
specific roles, such as [PR Wrangler](/docs/contribute/advanced#be-the-pr-wrangler-for-a-week) or
|
||||
[SIG Docs chairperson](#sig-docs-chairperson).

<!-- overview -->
|
||||
|
||||
Anyone can contribute to Kubernetes. As your contributions to SIG Docs grow, you can apply for different levels of membership in the community.
|
||||
These roles allow you to take on more responsibility within the community.
|
||||
Each role requires more time and commitment. The roles are:
|
||||
|
||||
- Anyone: regular contributors to the Kubernetes documentation
|
||||
- Members: can assign and triage issues and provide non-binding review on pull requests
|
||||
- Reviewers: can lead reviews on documentation pull requests and can vouch for a change's quality
|
||||
- Approvers: can lead reviews on documentation and merge changes
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- body -->
|
||||
|
||||
## Anyone
|
||||
|
||||
Anyone with a GitHub account can contribute to Kubernetes. SIG Docs welcomes all new contributors!
|
||||
|
||||
Anyone can:
|
||||
|
||||
- Open an issue in any [Kubernetes](https://github.com/kubernetes/) repository, including [`kubernetes/website`](https://github.com/kubernetes/website)
|
||||
- Give non-binding feedback on a pull request
|
||||
- Contribute to a localization
|
||||
- Suggest improvements on [Slack](http://slack.k8s.io/) or the [SIG docs mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/kubernetes-sig-docs).
|
||||
|
||||
After [signing the CLA](/docs/contribute/new-content/overview/#sign-the-cla), anyone can also:
|
||||
|
||||
- Open a pull request to improve existing content, add new content, or write a blog post or case study
|
||||
- Create diagrams, graphics assets, and embeddable screencasts and videos
|
||||
|
||||
For more information, see [contributing new content](/docs/contribute/new-content/).
|
||||
|
||||
## Members
|
||||
|
||||
A member is someone who has submitted multiple pull requests to `kubernetes/website`. Members are a part of the [Kubernetes GitHub organization](https://github.com/kubernetes).
|
||||
|
||||
Members can:
|
||||
|
||||
- Do everything listed under [Anyone](#anyone)
|
||||
- Use the `/lgtm` comment to add the LGTM (looks good to me) label to a pull request
|
||||
|
||||
{{< note >}}
|
||||
Using `/lgtm` triggers automation. If you want to provide non-binding approval, simply commenting "LGTM" works too!
|
||||
{{< /note >}}
|
||||
- Use the `/hold` comment to block merging for a pull request
|
||||
- Use the `/assign` comment to assign a reviewer to a pull request
|
||||
- Provide non-binding review on pull requests
|
||||
- Use automation to triage and categorize issues
|
||||
- Document new features
|
||||
|
||||
### Becoming a member
|
||||
|
||||
After submitting at least 5 substantial pull requests and meeting the other [requirements](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/community-membership.md#member):
|
||||
|
||||
1. Find two [reviewers](#reviewers) or [approvers](#approvers) to [sponsor](/docs/contribute/advanced#sponsor-a-new-contributor) your membership.
|
||||
|
||||
Ask for sponsorship in the [#sig-docs channel on Slack](https://kubernetes.slack.com) or on the
|
||||
[SIG Docs mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/kubernetes-sig-docs).
|
||||
|
||||
{{< note >}}
|
||||
Don't send a direct email or Slack direct message to an individual
|
||||
SIG Docs member. You must request sponsorship before submitting your application.
|
||||
{{< /note >}}
|
||||
|
||||
2. Open a GitHub issue in the [`kubernetes/org`](https://github.com/kubernetes/org/) repository. Use the **Organization Membership Request** issue template.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Let your sponsors know about the GitHub issue. You can either:
|
||||
- Mention their GitHub username in an issue (`@<GitHub-username>`)
|
||||
- Send them the issue link using Slack or email.
|
||||
|
||||
Sponsors will approve your request with a `+1` vote. Once your sponsors approve the request, a Kubernetes GitHub admin adds you as a member. Congratulations!
|
||||
|
||||
If your membership request is not accepted you will receive feedback. After addressing the feedback, apply again.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Accept the invitation to the Kubernetes GitHub organization in your email account.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< note >}}
|
||||
GitHub sends the invitation to the default email address in your account.
|
||||
{{< /note >}}
|
||||
|
||||
## Reviewers
|
||||
|
||||
Reviewers are responsible for reviewing open pull requests. Unlike member feedback, you must address reviewer feedback. Reviewers are members of the [@kubernetes/sig-docs-{language}-reviews](https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/teams?query=sig-docs) GitHub team.
|
||||
|
||||
Reviewers can:
|
||||
|
||||
- Do everything listed under [Anyone](#anyone) and [Members](#members)
|
||||
- Review pull requests and provide binding feedback
|
||||
|
||||
{{< note >}}
|
||||
To provide non-binding feedback, prefix your comments with a phrase like "Optionally: ".
|
||||
{{< /note >}}
|
||||
|
||||
- Edit user-facing strings in code
|
||||
- Improve code comments
|
||||
|
||||
You can be a SIG Docs reviewer, or a reviewer for docs in a specific subject area.
|
||||
|
||||
### Assigning reviewers to pull requests
|
||||
|
||||
Automation assigns reviewers to all pull requests. You can request a
|
||||
review from a specific person by commenting: `/assign
|
||||
[@_github_handle]`.
|
||||
|
||||
If the assigned reviewer has not commented on the PR, another reviewer can step in. You can also assign technical reviewers as needed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Using `/lgtm`
|
||||
|
||||
LGTM stands for "Looks good to me" and indicates that a pull request is technically accurate and ready to merge. All PRs need a `/lgtm` comment from a reviewer and a `/approve` comment from an approver to merge.
|
||||
|
||||
A `/lgtm` comment from reviewer is binding and triggers automation that adds the `lgtm` label.
|
||||
|
||||
### Becoming a reviewer
|
||||
|
||||
When you meet the
|
||||
[requirements](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/community-membership.md#reviewer), you can become a SIG Docs reviewer. Reviewers in other SIGs must apply separately for reviewer status in SIG Docs.
|
||||
|
||||
To apply:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open a pull request that adds your GitHub user name to a section of the
|
||||
[OWNERS_ALIASES](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/blob/master/OWNERS) file
|
||||
in the `kubernetes/website` repository.
|
||||
|
||||
{{ note }}
|
||||
If you aren't sure where to add yourself, add yourself to `sig-docs-en-reviews`.
|
||||
{{ /note }}
|
||||
|
||||
2. Assign the PR to one or more SIG-Docs approvers (user names listed under `sig-docs-{language}-owners`).
|
||||
|
||||
If approved, a SIG Docs lead adds you to the appropriate GitHub team. Once added, [K8s-ci-robot](https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/tree/master/prow#bots-home) assigns and suggests you as a reviewer on new pull requests.
|
||||
|
||||
## Approvers
|
||||
|
||||
Approvers review and approve pull requests for merging. Approvers are members of the
|
||||
[@kubernetes/sig-docs-{language}-owners](https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/teams/?query=sig-docs) GitHub teams.
|
||||
|
||||
Approvers can do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- Everything listed under [Anyone](#anyone), [Members](#members) and [Reviewers](#reviewers)
|
||||
- Publish contributor content by approving and merging pull requests using the `/approve` comment
|
||||
- Propose improvements to the style guide
|
||||
- Propose improvements to docs tests
|
||||
- Propose improvements to the Kubernetes website or other tooling
|
||||
|
||||
If the PR already has a `/lgtm`, or if the approver also comments with `/lgtm`, the PR merges automatically. A SIG Docs approver should only leave a `/lgtm` on a change that doesn't need additional technical review.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Approving pull requests
|
||||
|
||||
Approvers and SIG Docs leads are the only ones who can merge pull requests into the website repository. This comes with certain responsibilities.
|
||||
|
||||
- Approvers can use the `/approve` command, which merges PRs into the repo.
|
||||
|
||||
{{< warning >}}
|
||||
A careless merge can break the site, so be sure that when you merge something, you mean it.
|
||||
{{< /warning >}}
|
||||
|
||||
- Make sure that proposed changes meet the [contribution guidelines](/docs/contribute/style/content-guide/#contributing-content).
|
||||
|
||||
If you ever have a question, or you're not sure about something, feel free to call for additional review.
|
||||
|
||||
- Verify that Netlify tests pass before you `/approve` a PR.
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="/images/docs/contribute/netlify-pass.png" width="75%" alt="Netlify tests must pass before approving" />
|
||||
|
||||
- Visit the Netlify page preview for a PR to make sure things look good before approving.
|
||||
|
||||
- Participate in the [PR Wrangler rotation schedule](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/wiki/PR-Wranglers) for weekly rotations. SIG Docs expects all approvers to participate in this
|
||||
rotation. See [Be the PR Wrangler for a week](/docs/contribute/advanced#be-the-pr-wrangler-for-a-week)
|
||||
for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
### Becoming an approver
|
||||
|
||||
When you meet the [requirements](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/community-membership.md#approver), you can become a SIG Docs approver. Approvers in other SIGs must apply separately for approver status in SIG Docs.
|
||||
|
||||
To apply:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open a pull request adding yourself to a section of the [OWNERS_ALIASES](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/blob/master/OWNERS) file in the `kubernetes/website` repository.
|
||||
|
||||
{{ note }}
|
||||
If you aren't sure where to add yourself, add yourself to `sig-docs-en-owners`.
|
||||
{{ /note }}
|
||||
|
||||
2. Assign the PR to one or more current SIG Docs approvers.
|
||||
|
||||
If approved, a SIG Docs lead adds you to the appropriate GitHub team. Once added, [K8s-ci-robot](https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/tree/master/prow#bots-home) assigns and suggests you as a reviewer on new pull requests.

## Roles and responsibilities
|
||||
|
||||
- **Anyone** can contribute to Kubernetes documentation. To contribute, you must [sign the CLA](/docs/contribute/new-content/overview/#sign-the-cla) and have a GitHub account.
|
||||
- **Members** of the Kubernetes organization are contributors who have spent time and effort on the Kubernetes project, usually by opening pull requests with accepted changes. See [Community membership](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/community-membership.md) for membership criteria.
|
||||
- A SIG Docs **Reviewer** is a member of the Kubernetes organization who has
|
||||
expressed interest in reviewing documentation pull requests, and has been
|
||||
added to the appropriate GitHub group and `OWNERS` files in the GitHub
|
||||
repository by a SIG Docs Approver.
|
||||
- A SIG Docs **Approver** is a member in good standing who has shown a continued
|
||||
commitment to the project. An approver can merge pull requests
|
||||
and publish content on behalf of the Kubernetes organization.
|
||||
Approvers can also represent SIG Docs in the larger Kubernetes community.
|
||||
Some duties of a SIG Docs approver, such as coordinating a release,
|
||||
require a significant time commitment.
|
||||
|
||||
## Anyone
|
||||
|
||||
Anyone can do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- Open a GitHub issue against any part of Kubernetes, including documentation.
|
||||
- Provide non-binding feedback on a pull request.
|
||||
- Help to localize existing content
|
||||
- Bring up ideas for improvement on [Slack](http://slack.k8s.io/) or the [SIG docs mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/kubernetes-sig-docs).
|
||||
- Use the `/lgtm` Prow command (short for "looks good to me") to recommend the changes in a pull request for merging.
|
||||
{{< note >}}
|
||||
If you are not a member of the Kubernetes organization, using `/lgtm` has no effect on automated systems.
|
||||
{{< /note >}}
|
||||
|
||||
After [signing the CLA](/docs/contribute/new-content/overview/#sign-the-cla), anyone can also:
|
||||
- Open a pull request to improve existing content, add new content, or write a blog post or case study.
|
||||
|
||||
## Members
|
||||
|
||||
Members are contributors to the Kubernetes project who meet the [membership criteria](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/community-membership.md#member). SIG Docs welcomes contributions from all members of the Kubernetes community,
|
||||
and frequently requests reviews from members of other SIGs for technical accuracy.
|
||||
|
||||
Any member of the [Kubernetes organization](https://github.com/kubernetes) can do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- Everything listed under [Anyone](#anyone)
|
||||
- Use the `/lgtm` comment to add the LGTM (looks good to me) label to a pull request.
|
||||
- Use the `/hold` command to prevent a pull request from being merged, if the pull request already has the LGTM and approve labels.
|
||||
- Use the `/assign` comment to assign a reviewer to a pull request.
|
||||
|
||||
### Becoming a member
|
||||
|
||||
After you have successfully submitted at least 5 substantive pull requests, you
|
||||
can request [membership](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/community-membership.md#member)
|
||||
in the Kubernetes organization. Follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Find two reviewers or approvers to [sponsor](/docs/contribute/advanced#sponsor-a-new-contributor)
|
||||
your membership.
|
||||
|
||||
Ask for sponsorship in the [#sig-docs channel on the
|
||||
Kubernetes Slack instance](https://kubernetes.slack.com) or on the
|
||||
[SIG Docs mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/kubernetes-sig-docs).
|
||||
|
||||
{{< note >}}
|
||||
Don't send a direct email or Slack direct message to an individual
|
||||
SIG Docs member.
|
||||
{{< /note >}}
|
||||
|
||||
2. Open a GitHub issue in the `kubernetes/org` repository to request membership.
|
||||
Fill out the template using the guidelines at
|
||||
[Community membership](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/community-membership.md).
|
||||
|
||||
3. Let your sponsors know about the GitHub issue, either by at-mentioning them
|
||||
in the GitHub issue (adding a comment with `@<GitHub-username>`) or by sending them the link directly,
|
||||
so that they can add a `+1` vote.
|
||||
|
||||
4. When your membership is approved, the github admin team member assigned to your request updates the
|
||||
GitHub issue to show approval and then closes the GitHub issue.
|
||||
Congratulations, you are now a member!
|
||||
|
||||
If your membership request is not accepted, the
|
||||
membership committee provides information or steps to take before applying
|
||||
again.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reviewers
|
||||
|
||||
Reviewers are members of the
|
||||
[@kubernetes/sig-docs-pr-reviews](https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/teams/sig-docs-pr-reviews)
|
||||
GitHub group. Reviewers review documentation pull requests and provide feedback on proposed
|
||||
changes. Reviewers can:
|
||||
|
||||
- Do everything listed under [Anyone](#anyone) and [Members](#members)
|
||||
- Document new features
|
||||
- Triage and categorize issues
|
||||
- Review pull requests and provide binding feedback
|
||||
- Create diagrams, graphics assets, and embeddable screencasts and videos
|
||||
- Edit user-facing strings in code
|
||||
- Improve code comments
|
||||
|
||||
### Assigning reviewers to pull requests
|
||||
|
||||
Automation assigns reviewers to all pull requests. You can request a
|
||||
review from a specific reviewer with a comment on the pull request: `/assign
|
||||
[@_github_handle]`. To indicate that a pull request is technically accurate and
|
||||
requires no further changes, a reviewer adds a `/lgtm` comment to the pull
|
||||
request.
|
||||
|
||||
If the assigned reviewer has not yet reviewed the content, another reviewer can
|
||||
step in. In addition, you can assign technical reviewers and wait for them to
|
||||
provide a `/lgtm` comment.
|
||||
|
||||
For a trivial change or one that needs no technical review, SIG Docs
|
||||
[approvers](#approvers) can provide the `/lgtm` as well.
|
||||
|
||||
An `/approve` comment from a reviewer is ignored by automation.
|
||||
|
||||
### Becoming a reviewer
|
||||
|
||||
When you meet the
|
||||
[requirements](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/community-membership.md#reviewer),
|
||||
you can become a SIG Docs reviewer. Reviewers in other SIGs must apply
|
||||
separately for reviewer status in SIG Docs.
|
||||
|
||||
To apply, open a pull request to add yourself to the `reviewers` section of the
|
||||
[top-level OWNERS file](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/blob/master/OWNERS)
|
||||
in the `kubernetes/website` repository. Assign the PR to one or more current SIG
|
||||
Docs approvers.
|
||||
|
||||
If your pull request is approved, you are now a SIG Docs reviewer.
|
||||
[K8s-ci-robot](https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/tree/master/prow#bots-home)
|
||||
will assign and suggest you as a reviewer on new pull requests.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are approved, request that a current SIG Docs approver add you to the
|
||||
[@kubernetes/sig-docs-pr-reviews](https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/teams/sig-docs-pr-reviews)
|
||||
GitHub group. Only members of the `kubernetes-website-admins` GitHub group can
|
||||
add new members to a GitHub group.
|
||||
|
||||
## Approvers
|
||||
|
||||
Approvers are members of the
|
||||
[@kubernetes/sig-docs-maintainers](https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/teams/sig-docs-maintainers)
|
||||
GitHub group. See [SIG Docs teams and automation](#sig-docs-teams-and-automation) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
Approvers can do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- Everything listed under [Anyone](#anyone), [Members](#members) and [Reviewers](#reviewers)
|
||||
- Publish contributor content by approving and merging pull requests using the `/approve` comment.
|
||||
If someone who is not an approver leaves the approval comment, automation ignores it.
|
||||
- Participate in a Kubernetes release team as a docs representative
|
||||
- Propose improvements to the style guide
|
||||
- Propose improvements to docs tests
|
||||
- Propose improvements to the Kubernetes website or other tooling
|
||||
|
||||
If the PR already has a `/lgtm`, or if the approver also comments with `/lgtm`,
|
||||
the PR merges automatically. A SIG Docs approver should only leave a `/lgtm` on
|
||||
a change that doesn't need additional technical review.
|
||||
|
||||
### Becoming an approver
|
||||
|
||||
When you meet the
|
||||
[requirements](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/community-membership.md#approver),
|
||||
you can become a SIG Docs approver. Approvers in other SIGs must apply
|
||||
separately for approver status in SIG Docs.
|
||||
|
||||
To apply, open a pull request to add yourself to the `approvers` section of the
|
||||
[top-level OWNERS file](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/blob/master/OWNERS)
|
||||
in the `kubernetes/website` repository. Assign the PR to one or more current SIG
|
||||
Docs approvers.
|
||||
|
||||
If your pull request is approved, you are now a SIG Docs approver.
|
||||
[K8s-ci-robot](https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/tree/master/prow#bots-home)
|
||||
will assign and suggest you as a reviewer on new pull requests.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are approved, request that a current SIG Docs approver add you to the
|
||||
[@kubernetes/sig-docs-maintainers](https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/teams/sig-docs-maintainers)
|
||||
GitHub group. Only members of the `kubernetes-website-admins` GitHub group can
|
||||
add new members to a GitHub group.
|
||||
|
||||
### Approver responsibilities
|
||||
|
||||
Approvers improve the documentation by reviewing and merging pull requests into the website repository. Because this role carries additional privileges, approvers have additional responsibilities:
|
||||
|
||||
- Approvers can use the `/approve` command, which merges PRs into the repo.
|
||||
|
||||
A careless merge can break the site, so be sure that when you merge something, you mean it.
|
||||
|
||||
- Make sure that proposed changes meet the [contribution guidelines](/docs/contribute/style/content-guide/#contributing-content).
|
||||
|
||||
If you ever have a question, or you're not sure about something, feel free to call for additional review.
|
||||
|
||||
- Verify that Netlify tests pass before you `/approve` a PR.
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="/images/docs/contribute/netlify-pass.png" width="75%" alt="Netlify tests must pass before approving" />
|
||||
|
||||
- Visit the Netlify page preview for a PR to make sure things look good before approving.
|
||||
|
||||
- Participate in the [PR Wrangler rotation schedule](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/wiki/PR-Wranglers) for weekly rotations. SIG Docs expects all approvers to participate in this
|
||||
rotation. See [Be the PR Wrangler for a week](/docs/contribute/advanced#be-the-pr-wrangler-for-a-week)
|
||||
for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
## SIG Docs chairperson
|
||||
|
||||
Each SIG, including SIG Docs, selects one or more SIG members to act as
|
||||
chairpersons. These are points of contact between SIG Docs and other parts of
|
||||
the Kubernetes organization. They require extensive knowledge of the structure
|
||||
of the Kubernetes project as a whole and how SIG Docs works within it. See
|
||||
[Leadership](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/sig-docs#leadership)
|
||||
for the current list of chairpersons.
|
||||
|
||||
## SIG Docs teams and automation
|
||||
|
||||
Automation in SIG Docs relies on two different mechanisms for automation:
|
||||
GitHub groups and OWNERS files.
|
||||
|
||||
### GitHub groups
|
||||
|
||||
The SIG Docs group defines two teams on GitHub:
|
||||
|
||||
- [@kubernetes/sig-docs-maintainers](https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/teams/sig-docs-maintainers)
|
||||
- [@kubernetes/sig-docs-pr-reviews](https://github.com/orgs/kubernetes/teams/sig-docs-pr-reviews)
|
||||
|
||||
Each can be referenced with their `@name` in GitHub comments to communicate with
|
||||
everyone in that group.
|
||||
|
||||
These teams overlap, but do not exactly match, the groups used by the automation
|
||||
tooling. For assignment of issues, pull requests, and to support PR approvals,
|
||||
the automation uses information from OWNERS files.
|
||||
|
||||
### OWNERS files and front-matter
|
||||
|
||||
The Kubernetes project uses an automation tool called prow for automation
|
||||
related to GitHub issues and pull requests. The
|
||||
[Kubernetes website repository](https://github.com/kubernetes/website) uses
|
||||
two [prow plugins](https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/tree/master/prow/plugins):
|
||||
|
||||
- blunderbuss
|
||||
- approve
|
||||
|
||||
These two plugins use the
|
||||
[OWNERS](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/blob/master/OWNERS) and
|
||||
[OWNERS_ALIASES](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/blob/master/OWNERS_ALIASES)
|
||||
files in the top level of the `kubernetes/website` GitHub repository to control
|
||||
how prow works within the repository.
|
||||
|
||||
An OWNERS file contains a list of people who are SIG Docs reviewers and
|
||||
approvers. OWNERS files can also exist in subdirectories, and can override who
|
||||
can act as a reviewer or approver of files in that subdirectory and its
|
||||
descendents. For more information about OWNERS files in general, see
|
||||
[OWNERS](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/guide/owners.md).
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, an individual Markdown file can list reviewers and approvers in its
|
||||
front-matter, either by listing individual GitHub usernames or GitHub groups.
|
||||
|
||||
The combination of OWNERS files and front-matter in Markdown files determines
|
||||
the advice PR owners get from automated systems about who to ask for technical
|
||||
and editorial review of their PR.
|
||||
|
||||
## How merging works
|
||||
|
||||
When a pull request is merged to the branch used to publish content (currently
|
||||
`master`), that content is published and available to the world. To ensure that
|
||||
the quality of our published content is high, we limit merging pull requests to
|
||||
SIG Docs approvers. Here's how it works.
|
||||
|
||||
- When a pull request has both the `lgtm` and `approve` labels, has no `hold`
|
||||
labels, and all tests are passing, the pull request merges automatically.
|
||||
- Kubernetes organization members and SIG Docs approvers can add comments to
|
||||
prevent automatic merging of a given pull request (by adding a `/hold` comment
|
||||
or withholding a `/lgtm` comment).
|
||||
- Any Kubernetes member can add the `lgtm` label by adding a `/lgtm` comment.
|
||||
- Only SIG Docs approvers can merge a pull request
|
||||
by adding an `/approve` comment. Some approvers also perform additional
|
||||
specific roles, such as [PR Wrangler](/docs/contribute/advanced#be-the-pr-wrangler-for-a-week) or
|
||||
[SIG Docs chairperson](#sig-docs-chairperson).
