Go GitOps Deployer

A lightweight, modular GitOps agent for automated repository monitoring and remote deployment via SSH.

---

gogitopsdeployer is a GitOps agent designed for simplicity and reliability. It monitors a Git repository for changes and automatically triggers a deployment process to remote servers via SSH. It features built-in rollback mechanisms, Discord notifications, and a GitHub webhook listener for instantaneous updates.

Roadmap

• Phase 1: Foundation — Project structure, Configuration (Env Vars), and standard Logging.
• Phase 2: GitOps Core — Repository monitoring (go-git), commit hash comparison, and change detection.
• Phase 3: Deployment & Infrastructure — SSH client implementation, remote command execution, and rollback logic.
• Phase 4: Persistence & Observability — SQLite storage for deployment history and Discord webhook notifications.
• Phase 5: Immediate Triggers — GitHub Webhook listener with HMAC signature validation.

Quick Start

Installation

# Via go install
go install github.com/esousa97/gogitopsdeployer/cmd/agent@latest

From source

git clone https://github.com/esousa97/gogitopsdeployer.git

Makefile Targets

Target	Description
make build	Compiles the agent binary in bin/
make run	Executes the agent directly via Go
make test	Runs the unit test suite
make lint	Performs static analysis via go vet
make tidy	Cleans and updates go.mod dependencies
make clean	Removes binary and temporary files

Architecture

The project follows Dependency Inversion and Modular Architecture principles, ensuring that the business core remains infrastructure-agnostic.

• cmd/agent: Entry point and CLI commands.
• internal/gitops: Abstraction for Git operations and commit detection.
• internal/ssh: Remote execution engine and rollback logic.
• internal/monitor: Resilient reconciliation loop orchestrator.
• internal/storage: SQLite persistence layer.
• internal/notification: Discord notification integration.
• internal/webhook: GitHub Push event receiver.
