 This document explains how to setup your dev environment.
 
 ## Prerequisites
+
 - [dep][dep_tool] version v0.5.0+
 - [git][git_tool]
 - [go][go_tool] version v1.10+
+- [minikube][minikube] version v0.31.0+ (preferred Hypervisor - [virtualbox][virtualbox])
+- [docker][docker_tool] version 17.03+
 
-## Download Operator SDK
+## Clone repository and download dependencies
 
-Go to the [jenkins-operator repo][jenkins-operator] and follow the [fork guide][fork_guide] to fork, clone, and setup the local jenkins-operator repository.
-
-## Vendor dependencies
-
-Run the following in the project root directory to update the vendored dependencies:
-
-```sh
-$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/VirtusLab/jenkins-operator
-$ make go-dependencies
+```bash
+mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/VirtusLab
+cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/VirtusLab/
+git clone git@github.com:VirtusLab/jenkins-operator.git
+cd jenkins-operator
+make go-dependecies
 ```
 
-## Build the Operator
+## Build and run
 
-Build the Operator `jenkins-operator` binary:
+Build and run `jenkins-operator` locally:
 
-```sh
-$ make build
+```bash
+make build && make docker-build && make minikube-run EXTRA_ARGS='--minikube --local'
 ```
 
-Build the Operator `jenkins-operator` docker image:
+Once minikube and `jenkins-operator` are up and running, apply CR file:
 
-```sh
-$ make build
-$ make docker-build
-```
-
-## Run
-
-Run locally with minikube:
-
-```sh
-$ make minikube-run EXTRA_ARGS='--minikube --local'
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f jenkins-operator/deploy/crds/virtuslab_v1alpha1_jenkins_cr.yaml
+kubectl get jenkins -o yaml
+kubectl get po
 ```
 
 ## Testing
 
 Run unit tests:
 
-```sh
-$ make test
+```bash
+make test
 ```
 
 Run e2e tests with minikube:
 
-```sh
-$ make minikube-run
-$ eval $(minikube docker-env)
-$ make docker-build
-$ make e2e E2E_IMAGE=<docker-image-builded-locally>
+```bash
+make minikube-run
+eval $(minikube docker-env)
+make docker-build
+make e2e E2E_IMAGE=jenkins-operator
 ```
 
-**Note:** running all tests requires:
-- [docker][docker_tool] version 17.03+
-- [kubectl][kubectl_tool] version v1.10.0+
-- [minikube][minikube] version v0.30.0+(preferred Hypervisor - [virtualbox][virtualbox])
-
 See the project [README][jenkins-operator] for more details.
 
+## Hacks
+
+### `pkg/apis/virtuslab/v1alpha1/jenkins_types` has changed
+
+Generate deepcopy using operator-sdk:
+
+```bash
+operator-sdk generate k8s 
+```
+
+output should be simillar to:
+
+```
+INFO[0000] Running code-generation for Custom Resource group versions: [virtuslab:v1alpha1, ] 
+Generating deepcopy funcs
+INFO[0001] Code-generation complete.
+```
+
+### Getting Jenkins URL and basic credentials
+
+```bash
+minikube service jenkins-operator-example --url
+kubectl get secret jenkins-operator-credentials-example -o yaml
+```
+
+### Install custom plugins
+
+Extend `initBashTemplate` in `jenkins-operator/pkg/controller/jenkins/configuration/base/resources/scripts_configmap.go`:
+
+```
+touch {{ .JenkinsHomePath }}/plugins.txt
+cat > {{ .JenkinsHomePath }}/plugins.txt <<EOL
+credentials:2.1.18
+ssh-credentials:1.14
+job-dsl:1.70
+git:3.9.1
+mask-passwords:2.12.0
+workflow-cps:2.61
+workflow-job:2.30
+workflow-aggregator:2.6
+EOL
+```
