Description

Inrepoconfig(https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/blob/master/prow/inrepoconfig.md) allows each repo setting up prow jobs in its own repo instead of everything in test-infra, the benefits:

- Promotes self-service
- Presubmit flows get validated in PRs before applying

To make sure there is no regression doing this, it might be required to refactor prow job config generator so that it still serves each repo as it is today

Research direction

Start by reading prow/inrepoconfig.md and tracing the existing prow job config generator. Compare how jobs are currently served for each repository, then determine the changes needed to support in-repository configuration without regressions. Done means all repositories continue receiving the expected prow jobs while using inrepoconfig.
