Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. It watches a Git repository holding the desired state of your applications and keeps the cluster in sync with it, showing whether each application is synced and healthy and letting you deploy, diff and roll back from that source of truth.

GitOps is an operating model where the desired state of a system is declared in Git and an automated agent continuously reconciles the running system to match it. Git becomes the single source of truth, changes are made via pull requests, and the system self-corrects drift toward the declared state.
