-1. Kubernetes projects require contributors to sign the
-   [Contributor License Agreement] before pull requests
-   can be considered.
-1. Submit an issue describing your proposed change to
-   the repo in question.
-1. The [repo owners](OWNERS) will respond to your issue
-   promptly.
-1. Fork the repo, develop and test your code.
-   See the [github workflow guide].
-1. For _new features_, provide a markdown-based demo following
-   the pattern established in the [examples](examples) directory.
-   Run `bin/pre-commit.sh` to test your demo.
-1. Submit a pull request.
+# Contributing Guidelines

-## Community, discussion, contribution, and support
+Welcome to Kubernetes. We are excited about the prospect of you joining our [community](https://github.com/kubernetes/community)! The Kubernetes community abides by the [CNCF Code of Conduct]. Here is an excerpt:

-Learn how to engage with the Kubernetes community on
-the [community page](http://kubernetes.io/community/).
+_As contributors and maintainers of this project, and in the interest of fostering an open and welcoming community, we pledge to respect all people who contribute through reporting issues, posting feature requests, updating documentation, submitting pull requests or patches, and other activities._

-You can reach the maintainers of this project at:
+## Getting Started

- [Slack](http://slack.k8s.io/)
- [Mailing List](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/kubernetes-kustomize)
+Dev guides:

-## Code of conduct
+- [Contribution Guide]
+- [MacOS Dev Guide]
+- [Windows Dev Guide]

-Participation in the Kubernetes community is governed
-by the [CNCF code of conduct].
+General resources for contributors:
+
+- [Contributor License Agreement] - Kubernetes projects require that you sign a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) before we can accept your pull requests.
+- [Kubernetes Contributor Guide] - Main contributor documentation.
+- [Contributor Cheat Sheet] - Common resources for existing developers.
+
+Here are some additional ideas to help you get started with Kustomize:
+- Attend a Kustomize Bug Scrub. Check the [SIG-CLI] meetings list to find the next one.
+- Help triage issues by confirming validity and applying the appropriate `kind` label (e.g. comment `/kind bug`).
+- Pick up an issue to fix. Issues with the `help-wanted` label are a good place to start, but you can also look for any issue with the `triage/accepted` label and no assignee. Remember to `/assign` yourself to let others know you're working on it.
+- Help confirm new issues labelled `kind/bug` by reproducing them with the latest release.
+- Support Kustomize users by responding to questions on issues labelled `kind/support` or in the [Slack channel].
+
+## Mentorship
+
+- [Mentoring Initiatives](https://git.k8s.io/community/mentoring) - We have a diverse set of mentorship programs available that are always looking for volunteers!
+
+## Contributor Ladder
+
+Kustomize follows the [Kubernetes Community Membership] contributor ladder. Roles are as follows:
+
+1. Contributor: Anyone who actively contributes code, issues or reviews to the project. All contributors must sign the [Contributor License Agreement].
+1. Reviewer: Contributors with a history of review and authorship on Kustomize. Has LGTM rights on the Kustomize repo (as do all kubernetes-sigs org members). Active contributors are encouraged to join the reviewers list to be automatically pinged on PRs.
+1. Approver: Highly experienced active reviewer and contributor to Kustomize. Has both LTGM and approval rights on the Kustomize repo, as well as "maintain" [Github permissions].
+1. Owner: Approver who sets technical direction and makes or approves design decisions for the project. Has LGTM and approval rights on the Kustomize repo as well as "admin" [Github permissions].
+
+The kyaml module within the Kustomize repo has additional owners following the same ladder.
+
+Administrative notes:
+
+- The [OWNERS file spec] is a useful resources in making changes.
+- Maintainers and admins must be added to the appropriate lists in both [Kustomize OWNERS_ALIASES] and [SIG-CLI Teams]. If this isn't done, the individual in question will lack either PR approval rights (Kustomize list) or the appropriate Github repository permissions (community list).

+### Begin kustomize plugin rules.
+#
+# The rules to deal with builtin plugins are a bit
+# complicated because
+#
+# - Every builtin plugin is a Go plugin -
+#   meaning it gets its own module directory
+#   (outside of the api module) with Go
+#   code in a 'main' package per Go plugin rules.
+# - kustomize locates plugins using the
+#   'apiVersion' and 'kind' fields from the
+#   plugin config file.
+# - k8s wants CamelCase in 'kind' fields.
+# - The module name (the last name in the path)
+#   must be the lowercased 'kind' of the
+#   plugin because Go and related tools
+#   demand lowercase in import paths, but
+#   allow CamelCase in file names.
+# - the generated code must live in the api
+#   module (it's linked into the api).
+
+# Where all generated builtin plugin code should go.
+pGen=api/builtins
+# Where the builtin Go plugin modules live.

+## kubectl integration
+
+The kustomize build flow at [v2.0.3] was added
+to [kubectl v1.14][kubectl announcement].  The kustomize
+flow in kubectl remained frozen at v2.0.3 until kubectl v1.21,
+which [updated it to v4.0.5][kust-in-kubectl update]. It will
+be updated on a regular basis going forward, and such updates
+will be reflected in the Kubernetes release notes.

+//   TODO: Honor fields with RFC-6902-style array indices
+//   TODO: like 'spec/template/spec/containers/2'
+//   TODO: Modify kyaml/yaml/PathGetter to allow this.
+//   The value will be inserted into the array at the given position,
+//   shifting other contents. To instead replace an array entry, use
+//   an implementation of an IETF RFC 6902 Replace operation.
+//
+// For the common case of a filepath in the field value, and a desire

+	// At the time of writing, Value's value should be a simple string,

+	// into various fields, especially namespace and various filepath

+	// Call the value of this field _i_.
+	//
+	//   If _i_ is zero, negative or unspecified, this field has no effect.
+	//
+	//   If _i_ is > 0, then it's assumed that
+	//   - 'Value' is a string that can work as a directory or file name,
+	//   - the field value intended for replacement holds a filepath.
+	//
+	// The filepath is split into a string slice, the value is inserted
+	// at position [i-1], shifting the rest of the path to the right.
+	// A value of i==1 puts the new value at the start of the path.
+	// This change never converts an absolute path to a relative path,
+	// meaning adding a new field at position i==1 will preserve a
+	// leading slash. E.g. if Value == 'PEACH'
