Your First Kubernetes Contribution: A Hands-on Guide To Documentation…
summary
Hands‑on guide shows how to make a first Kubernetes contribution by treating docs as code: sign the CLA, fork github.com/kubernetes/website, edit markdown, run make serve or containerized preview, commit and open a pull request; CI/Prow adds labels and merges when reviewers mark /lgtm or /approve. Examples include the Japanese workflow (41 open language issues), the i18n tracker, and the Kling Lingoist helper; a generative‑AI lab and automated site build exist, but human review and occasional label fixes remain necessary.
