Issue 009 of the htek.dev newsletter. Last issue, we covered platform engineering with GitHub — building an internal developer platform with Copilot, IssueOps, and golden-path starter repos. This time, we’re going deeper into a pattern that changes how you think about Git itself: GitOps for everything that isn’t deployments.
The GitOps Misconception
When most teams hear “GitOps,” they think Kubernetes. ArgoCD watching a manifests/ folder. Flux reconciling desired state with cluster state. Deployment pipelines where git push triggers a rollout.
