+
+## Cloning the Kubernetes repository
+
+The metric generation happens in the Kubernetes repository. 
+To clone the repository, Change directories to where you want the clone to exist.
+
+Then, execute the following command:
+
+```shell
+git clone https://www.github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes 
+```
+
+This creates a `kubernetes` folder in your current working directory.
+
+## Generate the metrics
+
+Inside the cloned Kubernetes repository, locate the 
+`test/instrumentation/documentation` directory.
+The metrics documentation is generated in this directory.
+
+With each release, new metrics are added.
+After you run the metrics documentation generator script, copy the 
+metrics documentation to the Kubernetes website and
+publish the updated metrics documentation.
+
+To generate the latest metrics, Make sure you are in the root of the cloned Kubernetes directory. 
+Then, execute the following command:
+
+```shell
+./test/instrumentation/update-documentation.sh
+```
+
+To check for changes, execute:
+
+```shell
+git status
+```
+
+The output is similar to
+
+```
+./test/instrumentation/documentation/documentation.md
+./test/instrumentation/documentation/documentation-list.yaml
+```
+
+## Copy the generated metrics documentation file to the Kubernetes website repository
+
+1. Set the Kubernetes website root environment variable
+
+Execute the following command to set the website root:
+
+```shell
+export WEBSITE_ROOT=<path to website root>
+```
+
+
+2. Copy operation
+
+Copy the generated metrics file to the Kubernetes website repository.
+
+```shell
+cp ./test/instrumentation/documentation/documentation.md "${WEBSITE_ROOT}/content/en/docs/reference/instrumentation/metrics.md"
+```
+
+{{< note >}}
+If you get an error, check that you have permission to copy the file.
+You can use `chown` to change the file ownership back to your own user.
