This documentation explains how to get started with creating your own
disk-image-builder elements as well as some high level concepts for element
creation.
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://opendev.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.
Python module documentation
---------------------------
For internal documentation on the DIB python components, see the
