Jim Angel 08d06e02b3 very minor change to url syntax (#9543)
The URL for k/k included the text after ("repo"). This PR formats it to not include the text after.

title: Building from Source
---
You can either build a release from source or download a pre-built release. If you do not plan on developing Kubernetes itself, we suggest using a pre-built version of the current release, which can be found in the [Release Notes](/docs/imported/release/notes/).
The Kubernetes source code can be downloaded from the [kubernetes/kubernetes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes) repo.
## Building from source
If you are simply building a release from source there is no need to set up a full golang environment as all building happens in a Docker container.
Building a release is simple.
```shell
git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes.git
cd kubernetes
make release
```
For more details on the release process see the kubernetes/kubernetes [`build`](http://releases.k8s.io/{{< param "githubbranch" >}}/build/) directory.
