Overview

Kube Starter Kit is designed to be forked and customized for your organization. This page walks you through the initial repository setup: forking, cloning, and installing development tools.

​
Fork and Clone

Create your fork

Fork the repository to your GitHub organization:
  1. Navigate to the Kube Starter Kit repository
  2. Click Fork and select your organization as the owner
  3. Keep the repository name or rename it to match your conventions

Clone your fork locally

Install mise

The repository uses mise to manage tool versions. Install it first:
curl https://mise.run | sh
Then activate mise in your shell (add to your .bashrc or .zshrc for persistence):
eval "$(~/.local/bin/mise activate bash)"  # or zsh/fish
See the mise installation docs for alternative installation methods.

Install development tools

With mise installed, install the project’s tool dependencies:
mise install
This installs Terramate, Terraform, kubectl, Helm, and other tools at the versions specified in mise.toml.
