-# Permanently Moved
+# Developing Cluster Version Operator
 
-Other than run-cvo-locally.md, all other documents have moved to [openshift/enhancements](https://github.com/openshift/enhancements/tree/master/dev-guide/cluster-version-operator).
+> :warning: This document only covers the basic development, building and testing tasks. For information about
+> concepts used and implemented in CVO, please see the
+> [dev-guide in the openshift/enhancements repository](https://github.com/openshift/enhancements/tree/master/dev-guide/cluster-version-operator).
 
+## Building CVO
+
+### Building the CVO binary
+
+```console
+$ make build
+hack/build-go.sh
+Using version from git...
+Building github.com/openshift/cluster-version-operator (v1.0.0-942-g59e0826f-dirty)
+```
+
+### Building the CVO image
+
+The [`hack/build-image.sh`](../../hack/build-image.sh) script builds a local CVO image:
+
+```console
+$ ./hack/build-image.sh
+INFO: Using version from git...
+...
+[2/2] COMMIT cluster-version-operator:v1.0.0-942-g59e0826f-dirty
+--> 98ff149964f
+Successfully tagged localhost/cluster-version-operator:v1.0.0-942-g59e0826f-dirty
+```
+
+### Publishing a development CVO image
+
+The [`hack/push-image.sh`](../../hack/push-image.sh) script publishes
+a [locally-built CVO image](#building-the-cvo-image) to a remote repository:
+
+```console
+$ REPO=<your personal repo, such as quay.io/login> ./hack/push-image.sh
+```
+
+This pushes `${VERSION}` and `latest` tags to `${REPO}/origin-cluster-version-operator`, where `${VERSION}` encodes the
+Git commit used to build the image.
+
+### Building and publishing a release payload image with development CVO
+
+After publishing a [development CVO image](#publishing-a-development-cvo-image), you can build a release payload image
+that will contain all manifests from an existing release payload and the development CVO binary:
+
+```console
+$ oc adm release new --from-release=quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.11.18-x86_64 \
+                     --to-image-base=${REPO}/origin-cluster-version-operator:latest \
+                     --image=${REPO}/ocp-release:latest
+```
+
+## Testing CVO
+
+### Unit tests
+
+Run `make test` to execute all unit tests.
+
+### Integration tests
+
+The [`hack/test-integration.sh`](../../hack/test-integration.sh) script executes integration tests against an OpenShift
+cluster. It requires `$KUBECONFIG` with administrator credentials. Only execute integration tests against disposable
+testing clusters.
+
+```console
+$ export KUBECONFIG=<admin kubeconfig path>
+$ ./hack/test-integration.sh
+```
+
+### Replace cluster's CVO with development CVO release payload image
+
+After publishing
+a [release payload image with development CVO](#building-and-publishing-a-release-payload-image-with-development-cvo),
+you can inject its pullspec into the `cluster-version-operator` Deployment in an existing cluster. Only do this against
+disposable testing clusters.
+
+```console
+$ pullspec=${REPO}/ocp-release:latest
+
+$ imagePatch='{"op":"replace","path":"/spec/template/spec/containers/0/image","value":"'"$pullspec"'"}'
+$ releaseImageArgPatch='{"op":"replace","path":"/spec/template/spec/containers/0/args/1","value":"--release-image='"$pullspec"'"}'
+$ oc patch -n openshift-cluster-version deployment cluster-version-operator --type json --patch="[$imagePatch,$releaseImageArgPatch]"
+deployment.apps/cluster-version-operator patched
+```
