Follow this tutorial to learn about Skaffold on a small Kubernetes app built with [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) inside [minikube](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io)
and deployed with [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/)!

This tutorial uses minikube as Skaffold knows to build the app using the Docker daemon hosted
inside minikube and thus avoiding any need for a registry to host the app's container images.


{{< alert title="Note">}}
Aside from `Docker` and `kubectl`, Skaffold also supports a variety of other tools
and workflows; see [Tutorials]({{<relref "/docs/tutorials">}}) for
more information.
{{</alert>}}


In this quickstart, you will:

* Install Skaffold,
* Download a sample go app,
* Install Skaffold, and download a sample go app,
* Use `skaffold dev` to build and deploy your app every time your code changes,
* Use `skaffold run` to build and deploy your app once, similar to a CI/CD pipeline

## Before you begin
## Set up

{{< alert title="New!" >}}

Skip this setup step by using Google Cloud Platform's [_Cloud Shell_](http://cloud.google.com/shell),
which provides a [browser-based terminal/CLI and editor](https://cloud.google.com/shell#product-demo).
Cloud Shell comes with Skaffold, Minikube, and Docker pre-installed, and is free
(requires a [Google Account](https://accounts.google.com/SignUp)).

[![Open in Cloud Shell](https://gstatic.com/cloudssh/images/open-btn.svg)](https://ssh.cloud.google.com/cloudshell/editor?shellonly=true&cloudshell_git_repo=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FGoogleContainerTools%2Fskaffold&cloudshell_working_dir=examples%2Fgetting-started)

{{< /alert >}}

This tutorial requires Skaffold, Minikube, and Kubectl.

* [Install Skaffold]({{< relref "/docs/install" >}})
* [Install kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/)
* [Install minikube](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/)

{{< alert title="Note">}}
This tutorial assumes use of Minikube as Skaffold will build the app using the Docker daemon hosted inside minikube
and avoids the need for a registry to host the app's container images.
If you want to deploy against a different Kubernetes cluster then you will have to install Docker to build this app.
Furthermore if you want to deploy to a remote cluster, such as GKE, then you need to set up a container
registry such as [GCR](https://cloud.google.com/container-registry) to host the resulting images.

## Downloading the sample app
### Downloading the sample app

1. Clone the Skaffold repository:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/skaffold
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/skaffold
```

1. Change to the `examples/getting-started` in skaffold directory.
