What is OpenGitOps?

The OpenGitOps standards group defines GitOps using a set of four principles:

GitOps principles differ from the traditional CI & CD pipeline approach. In the last few years, the GitOps working group under CNCF formalized all the ideas developed around GitOps into a cohesive set of principles that have become the GitOps Principles.

There are four principles of GitOps, and according to Open GitOps, they are:
