GitOps is a GitOps term for using Git as the source of truth for declarative infrastructure and application operations. It helps teams, humans, and agents compare declared source state with running systems, then act without pretending a deployment did more than the evidence shows. Source context: OpenGitOps principles; Argo CD documentation; Flux documentation.
“The team used GitOps before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”
