Using GitOpsTemplate
s as a Platform Engineer
The above Quickstart templates are designed to provide a practical getting started experience. We encourage Platform Operators to start off with these templates within their team to ramp up on using Weave GitOps.
If the need arises later, operators can always expand on these templates to develop their own set of self-service capabilities.

For example, to create a pipeline for your application: use the above template provided by your Operations team to create required resources. Once they have been added to your GitOps repository, you can adapt the rendered resources to meet your needs.
The Quickstart templates are maintained by the Weave Gitops team. If you would like to make alterations, suggest fixes, or even contribute a new template which you find cool, just head to the repo and open a new issue or PR!
