git-sync is a command-line tool that clones a git repository into a local directory and periodically keeps it in sync with the upstream remote. It is designed to run as a sidecar container in Kubernetes, publishing each sync atomically via a symlink and optionally triggering webhooks or commands.

Use cases

• keep config files in a kubernetes pod synced from a git repo
• run a sidecar container that pulls a git repo periodically
• sync static site content from git to a web server
• pull a specific branch, tag, or commit hash from git on an interval
• trigger a webhook or command after a git sync completes
• serve application files from a git repository without CI/CD

When to choose

• you need files from a git repo continuously synced into a container or local directory
• you want atomic updates so consumers never see partial checkouts
• you run Kubernetes and want a simple sidecar for git-based config or content delivery

When to avoid

• you need bidirectional git workflows like committing and pushing changes
• you need full CI/CD pipelines rather than simple file syncing
• your data source is not a git repository
