What is GitOps?

GitOps is a methodology that manages infrastructure and application deployments using Git as the central repository for configurations. Desired states are defined in code, with all changes tracked through Git commits. Automated systems monitor the repository and apply updates to the environment, maintaining consistency and reducing manual interventions. This approach simplifies deployment processes, improves collaboration, and provides a clear audit trail of changes. It is commonly used in modern DevOps workflows.
