These instructions are intended to make it easier for developers to create new Cluster API provider repositories. For more information on the Cluster API project please see the base repository here.

There is no intent to maintain these instructions. Better automation or more sophisticated code sharing should be preferred over this duct tape and bubble gum.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

• The name of provider repos should be of the form cluster-api-provider-$(cloud). For example, cluster-api-provider-openshift is the name of the repo which implements the Cluster API provider for OpenShift.

• Create a new empty GitHub repo under your org using the GitHub GUI, for example https://github.com/samsung-cnct/cluster-api-provider-ssh.

• Duplicate this repo (https://github.com/davidewatson/cluster-api-provider-skeleton) and push it to the cluster-api-provider-ssh repo you created in the previous step. Note the arguments to clone and push.

git clone --bare https://github.com/davidewatson/cluster-api-provider-skeleton.git
cd cluster-api-provider-skeleton.git
git push --mirror https://github.com/davidewatson/cluster-api-provider-ssh.git
cd ..
rm -rf cluster-api-provider-skeleton.git

• Clone the new repository. For Go dependencies to be built correctly with dep, place this repository in your $GOPATH as follows:

mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/sigs.k8s.io/
cd $GOPATH/src/sigs.k8s.io/
git clone https://github.com/davidewatson/cluster-api-provider-ssh.git
cd cluster-api-provider-ssh

• Customize the new repository. A simple search and replace may suffice for some name changes, e.g. on OS X, something like this might work:

find ./* -type f  -path ./vendor -prune -o -path ./.git -prune -o -exec sed -i '' -e 's/skeleton/ssh/g' {} \;
find ./* -type f  -path ./vendor -prune -o -path ./.git -prune -o -exec sed -i '' -e 's/Skeleton/SSH/g' {} \;

The following directory must be renamed/moved:

git mv pkg/cloud/skeleton/ pkg/cloud/ssh/

For other changes, like the README.md, OWNERS_ALIASES, etc., you'll have to think more.

• Get all the dependencies in your vendor directory

make depend
