GitOps is growing in popularity. You’ve probably seen it mentioned on Reddit or dev.to. But what the heck is GitOps?

In this blog, we will walk through the process of configuring a private Cloudsmith repository as an artifact source for a Harness Continuous Deployment pipeline. Harness is a Continuous Deployment platform that allows you to easily automate the deployment of your software to your infrastructure and environments.
In our previous post, we discussed the recent security incident at Codecov and the following investigation at Mattermost. As a follow-up to that we wanted to share some of the basic design principles as well as a handful of more technical tips and tricks around CI/CD pipeline security that helped Mattermost come out of the incident unscathed.
