way to automate builds, it’s not GitOps. GitOps software agents (which I sometimes call GitOps controllers) check the desired state by pulling declarations from the state store at regular intervals, which to apply the desired state. This principle directly mirrors the functions of the Kubernetes controllers, but GitOps applies it to a whole application or infrastructure stack instead of just one object functions were broken up into individual components, called the GitOps Toolkit, and were based on controllers. These components include the source controller, the Kustomize controller, the Helm controller
