fleet-gitops-export
Export a live Fleet instance into a ready-to-use GitOps repository laid out the way `fleetctl new` scaffolds it (default.yml, fleets/*.yml, labels/, platforms/[os]/[kind]/), with secrets replaced by environment variables and a read-only `fleetctl gitops --dry-run` to prove the repo matches Fleet. Use when someone wants to migrate Fleet settings configured in the UI or API to GitOps, export Fleet to a GitOps repo, turn UI settings into YAML, adopt GitOps on an existing Fleet, or replace `fleetctl generate-gitops`, even if they never say "export". It builds a new repo; to edit or validate an existing GitOps repo, use the fleet-gitops skill instead.
