 Once you have followed the steps in the xref:getting_started/installation.adoc[] section to install the Operator and its dependencies, you will now deploy a Airflow cluster and its dependencies. Afterwards you can <<_verify_that_it_works, verify that it works>> by running and tracking an example DAG.

 === Overview
 
-https://github.com/kubernetes/git-sync/tree/v4.2.1[git-sync] is a command that pulls a git repository into a local directory and is supplied as a sidecar container for use within Kubernetes. The Stackable implementation is a wrapper around this such that the binary and image requirements are included in the Stackable Airflow product images and do not need to be specified or handled in the `AirflowCluster` custom resource. Internal details such as image names and volume mounts are handled by the operator, so that only the repository and synchronization details are required. An example of this usage is given in the next section.
