Installation

1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/yourusername/basic-gitops-operator.git cd basic-gitops-operator

2. Install the required Go packages: go get -v

3. Build the program: go build

This will generate an executable named basic-gitops-operator (or basic-gitops-operator.exe on Windows).

Usage

1. Run the program: ./basic-gitops-operator

2. By default, the program will sync the repository at https://github.com/richinex/basic-gitops-operator.git every 5 seconds and apply the manifests found in the basic-gitops-operator-config directory. Modify the source code if you need to sync a different repository or adjust the interval.

3. Monitor the logs for information on syncing and applying operations. Errors, if any, will also be reported here.
