GitOps enabled version control allows you to store folder content like templates, variables, and configuration as YAML code in Git and enables a GitOps style workflow to author, review, and promote content between Release environments.

GitOps-enabled

By default, the following options are enabled when GitOps folder versioning is available:

Enable Folder Git versioning - Enables GitOps-based version control for folders in Release. When selected, the Git versioning tab is available in folders. To disable GitOps folder versioning entirely, clear the Enable Folder Git versioning checkbox.

Automatically update content - Automatically fetches new versions of content from the Digital.ai Git repository and applies them to the Digital.ai official folder. To stop automatic updates, clear the Automatically update content checkbox.
