Contributing to k3s

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to k3s!

Contributing is not limited to writing code and submitting a PR. Feel free to submit an issue or comment on an existing one to report a bug, provide feedback, or suggest a new feature. You can also join the discussion on slack.

Of course, contributing code is more than welcome! To keep things simple, if you're fixing a small issue, you can simply submit a PR and we will pick it up. However, if you're planning to submit a bigger PR to implement a new feature or fix a relatively complex bug, please open an issue that explains the change and the motivation for it. If you're addressing a bug, please explain how to reproduce it.

If you're interested in contributing documentation, please note the following:

  • Doc issues are raised in this repository, and they are tracked under the kind/documentation label.
  • Pull requests are submitted to the K3s documentation source in the Rancher docs repository. The K3s docs content is in the content/k3s/ directory.
