🚀 Demo Available: Automating Kubebuilder Project Updates with the New alpha update Command
Camila Macedo
Hi everyone,
We’re excited to share a new demo video featuring the kubebuilder alpha update command—developed as part of the Kubebuilder Google Summer of Code 2025 project by @Vitor Floriano.
This new command helps Kubebuilder projects stay up-to-date with the latest bug fixes and scaffold improvements, all with much less manual effort. It makes it easier to maintain your Kubebuilder project.

(Now published on the official Kubebuilder YouTube channel!)
Why this matters
Updating Kubebuilder projects manually can be time-consuming and error-prone.The new kubebuilder alpha update command simplifies that by:
- Updating scaffolds using three-way Git merges
- Keeping your project aligned with the latest Kubebuilder version
- Preserving your custom code and logic
- Reducing the effort required to maintain your project
We’d love for you to try it out and share your feedback!

A huge thank you to @Vitor Floriano for this amazing contribution 🎉 — and to all our contributors who continue to make Kubebuilder better every day.
Best,
