Complete guide for implementing GitOps methodology in Kubernetes environments - the operational framework where Git is the single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and applications.

GitOps is a set of practices that uses Git repositories as the source of truth for defining the desired state of infrastructure and applications. An automated process ensures the production environment matches the state described in the repository.

GitOps is defined by four core principles established by the OpenGitOps project (part of CNCF):

Comprehensive GitOps methodology and principles skill for cloud-native operations. Use when (1) Designing GitOps architecture for Kubernetes deployments, (2) Implementing declarative infrastructure with Git as single source of truth, (3) Setting up continuous deployment pipelines with ArgoCD/Flux/Kargo, (4) Establishing branching strategies and repository structures, (5) Troubleshooting drift, sync failures, or reconciliation issues, (6) Evaluating GitOps tooling decisions, (7) Teaching or explaining GitOps concepts and best practices, (8) Deploying ArgoCD on Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes or AKS with workload identity. Covers the 4 pillars of GitOps (OpenGitOps), patterns, anti-patterns, tooling ecosystem, Azure Arc integration, and operational guidance. Source: julianobarbosa/claude-code-skills.
