OpenGitOps was initially created and guided by the CNCF GitOps Working Group, which was part of the CNCF App Delivery TAG. In March 2024 The GitOps WG merged into the OpenGitOps project to simplify project governance and the path for new contributors.
This timeline is a work in progress. If you are interested in keeping abreast of any new developments, please see our Contributing guidelines.
