## What it is
Argo CD Autopilot is a Go-based CLI tool that provides an opinionated way to install and manage Argo CD itself using GitOps. It scaffolds a structured GitOps repository, manages application additions and updates, and handles promoting changes across environments.

## Use cases
- install argo cd using gitops
- bootstrap a kubernetes cluster with argocd
- structure a gitops repository for my applications
- promote app changes across environments
- set up disaster recovery for argocd clusters
- manage argocd installation declaratively from git

## When to choose
- you are new to GitOps with Argo CD and want an opinionated, proven repository structure
- you want the Argo CD installation itself managed declaratively via GitOps
- you need repeatable cluster bootstrapping and disaster recovery with all applications restored from git
- you want a simple, consistent pattern for promoting application updates between environments

## When to avoid
- you already have an established GitOps workflow or custom repository layout that conflicts with Autopilot's conventions
- you prefer full flexibility over opinionated tooling for structuring repos
- you do not use Argo CD or Kubernetes in your deployment pipeline
