Contributions to this project must be accompanied by a Contributor License

this simply gives us permission to use and redistribute your contributions as
part of the project. Head over to <https://cla.developers.google.com/> to see

## Standards

### Commit Messages
All commit messages should follow
[these best practices](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/), specifically:
- Start with a subject line
- Contain a body that explains _why_ you're making the change you're making
- Reference an issue number if one exists, closing it if applicable (with text
such as
["Fixes #245" or "Closes #111"](https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-using-keywords/))
Aim for [2 paragraphs in the body](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJjmw9TRB7s).
Not sure what to put? Include:
- What is the problem being solved?
- Why is this the best approach?
- What other approaches did you consider?
- What side effects will this approach have?
- What future work remains to be done?
### Coding standards
The code in this repo should follow best practices, specifically:
- [Go code review comments](https://go.dev/wiki/CodeReviewComments)
## Finding something to work on
Thanks so much for considering contributing to our project!! We hope very much
you can find something interesting to work on:
- To find issues that we particularly would like contributors to tackle, look
for
[issues with the "help wanted" label](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22).
- Issues that are good for new folks will additionally be marked with
["good first issue"](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22).
