OpenGitOps is a CNCF Sandbox project that defines a vendor-neutral, principle-led standard for GitOps, including the four GitOps Principles, a glossary, conformance, and certification programs. This repository holds top-level project information and links to its sub-repos such as documents, website, and events.

Use cases

• understand what GitOps means and its core principles
• find vendor-neutral GitOps standards and glossary
• evaluate whether a tool conforms to GitOps principles
• learn best practices for adopting GitOps in an organization
• get involved in the GitOps community and events
• certify GitOps tooling interoperability

When to choose

• you need an authoritative, vendor-neutral definition of GitOps
• you are building or evaluating GitOps tooling and want conformance criteria
• you want community-recognized GitOps principles and glossary documents
• you are educating a team on GitOps practices

When to avoid

• you need a working GitOps deployment tool - use Flux or Argo CD instead
• you want runnable software rather than standards and documentation
• you need a quick tutorial rather than formal principles and specifications
