Examples
April 16, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
This directory contains examples of Tekton Pipelines in action.
To deploy them to your cluster (after installing the CRDs and running the controller):
Some examples have metadata:generateName instead of metadata:name. These examples
can not be executed by kubectl apply. Please use kubectl create instead.
In few examples to demonstrate tasks that push image to registry, sample URL
gcr.io/christiewilson-catfactory is used. To run these examples yourself, you
will need to change the values of this sample registry URL to a registry you can
push to from inside your cluster. If you are following instructions
here to setup then use the value of
$KO_DOCKER_REPO instead of gcr.io/christiewilson-catfactory.
# To invoke a TaskRun
kubectl apply -f examples/v1/taskruns/
# To invoke a PipelineRun
kubectl apply -f examples/v1/pipelineruns/
Results
You can track the progress of your taskruns and pipelineruns with this command, which will also format the output nicely.
$ kubectl get taskruns -o=custom-columns-file=./test/columns.txt
NAME TYPE STATUS START
test-git-branch Succeeded True 2019-02-11T21:21:03Z
test-git-ref Succeeded True 2019-02-11T21:21:02Z
test-git-tag Succeeded True 2019-02-11T21:21:02Z

You can also use kubectl get tr or kubectl get pr to query all taskruns or
pipelineruns respectively.
