The Git version control system is 15 years old and has by all accounts taken over the development world.
It’s unusual and weird to find a serious software project that isn’t using Git today (though a few holdouts still have lots of auxiliary tools built around Subversion, they haven’t managed to jettison yet). The great thing about Git, though, is that it’s capable of so much more than just a place to dump source code.
In recent years, many organizations have adopted Git as a central part of their application deployment process, not just their code storage. Collectively this change has become known as ‘GitOps’ – because adding an ‘Ops’ suffix to something makes it cool; Internet rules – but what it means in practice varies widely by the organization.
