Welcome to the official GitHub repository for the Argo CD – Basics to Production course!
This repository is your central hub for learning GitOps with Argo CD, from core concepts to production-ready patterns. It complements the video lectures with structured notes, diagrams, and configuration examples that help you understand how Git becomes the source of truth and how Argo CD enforces it on Kubernetes.
This course focuses on GitOps principles first, and then shows how Argo CD implements those principles in real-world Kubernetes environments.
