Mirror Arrikto GitOps Repository Using Bitbucket

This guide will walk you through mirroring the Arrikto GitOps repository to an internal, self-hosted Bitbucket server, using the Bitbucket native way of importing a repository.

Warning

Bitbucket supports one-off imports of the external repositories. Upon upgrades, you will have to delete the mirrored repository and re-mirror it so that you can fetch the latest changes and eventually rebase your local clone of the GitOps repository onto the latest Arrikto-provided manifests.
