Developer Guide¶

Quickstart¶

To get started developing with diskimage-builder, install to a virtualenv:

$ mkdir dib
$ cd dib
$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/diskimage-builder
$ cd diskimage-builder
$ pip install -e .

You can now simply use disk-image-create to start building images and testing your changes. When you are done editing, use git review to submit changes to the upstream gerrit.
