 ----
 
-Kubernetes is an open source system for managing [containerized applications]
-across multiple hosts; providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance,
-and scaling of applications.
+Kubernetes without the features I don't care about.
 
-Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience at Google running
-production workloads at scale using a system called [Borg],
-combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
+Rebase Instructions
+-------------------
 
-Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation ([CNCF]).
-If you are a company that wants to help shape the evolution of
-technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled
-and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF.
-For details about who's involved and how Kubernetes plays a role,
-read the CNCF [announcement].
+## Patch rebase
 
-----
+These are instructions for rebasing a patch version. For example if the current
+k3s k8s version is v1.13.3 and v1.13.4 comes out these are the procedures on how
+to rebase and create a new release.  If v1.14 comes out that procedure is different.
 
-## To start using Kubernetes
+The below instructions will use the example of rebasing from v1.13.3 to v1.13.4.
+For git commands the remote `rancher` is github.com/rancher/k3s and the remote
+`upstream` refers to github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
 
-See our documentation on [kubernetes.io].
-
-Try our [interactive tutorial].
-
-Take a free course on [Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes].
-
-## To start developing Kubernetes
-
-The [community repository] hosts all information about
-building Kubernetes from source, how to contribute code
-and documentation, who to contact about what, etc.
-
-If you want to build Kubernetes right away there are two options:
-
-##### You have a working [Go environment].
-
-```
-$ go get -d k8s.io/kubernetes
-$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
-$ make
+* Create a branch in github.com/rancher/k3s called k3s-${VERSION} that is branched
+   from the upstream tag ${VERSION}.
+   
+```bash
+VERSION=v1.13.4
+git fetch upstream
+git checkout -b k3s-${VERSION} ${VERSION}
+git push rancher k3s-${VERSION}
 ```
 
-##### You have a working [Docker environment].
-
+* Start rebase
+```bash
+OLD_VERSION=v1.13.3
+VERSION=v1.13.4
+git fetch rancher
+git checkout k3s-${VERSION}
+git reset --hard rancher/k3s-${OLD_VERSION}
+git rebase -i ${VERSION}
 ```
-$ git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
-$ cd kubernetes
-$ make quick-release
+* When presented with the patch edit screen you want to drop an commit titled
+   "Update Vendor" or a version commit like "v1.13.3-k3s.6"
+* Continue rebase and resolve any conflicts.
+* Run the below to update vendor and apply tag
+
+```bash
+VERSION=v1.13.4
+./deps && ./tag.sh ${VERSION}-k3s.1
 ```
