## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, developer-tools, configuration-management, deployment
- domain: infrastructure-as-code, cloud-computing, developer-tools, documentation
- platform: cloud, self-hosted
- tags: gitops, cncf, open-standard, declarative-configuration, continuous-delivery, kubernetes, community-project, devops, containers
