Description

Image This is basically the Tekton user experience.

There's a lot of stuff in the docs that just doesn't work or is out of date.

I think having more examples of common tasks, like building and pushing images with docker to real repositories, complete with all the manifests including secrets and service accounts with placeholder values, would be ideal.

I can author these. But the problem is, the right way to do things implied by the docs doesn't work (#8716).

We have contributed to tekton in the past and we think it's one of the best tools in the Kubernetes ecosystem so we're looking forward to addressing this as collaborators!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the failing examples in Tekton docs, especially those linked in issue #8716, and create complete, working manifests for building/pushing Docker images, including secrets and service accounts. Validate against a real cluster.
