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 debug the controller running inside a Kubernetes cluster using Delve.
make docker-build-debug IMG=<your-registry/your-image:tag>
make docker-push IMG=<your-registry/your-image:tag>
make deploy-debug IMG=<your-registry/your-image:tag>Forward the Delve port to your local machine:
kubectl port-forward -n mcp-lifecycle-operator-system deploy/mcp-lifecycle-operator-controller-manager 40000:40000Then connect your IDE's remote debugger to localhost:40000.
Path mapping: Configure your IDE to map your local source root to /workspace inside the container.
- GoLand: Run > Edit Configurations > Go Remote > Path mappings: local project root →
/workspace - VS Code: In
launch.json, set"substitutePath"with"from"as your local project root and"to"as"/workspace"
- Mentoring Initiatives - We have a diverse set of mentorship programs available that are always looking for volunteers!
