 Skaffold is a command line tool that facilitates continuous development for

+Kubernetes-native applications. Skaffold handles the workflow for building,
+pushing, and deploying your application, and provides building blocks for
+creating CI/CD pipelines. This enables you to focus on iterating on your
+application locally while Skaffold continuously deploys to your local or remote
+Kubernetes cluster.
 
 ## Features
 
 * Fast local Kubernetes Development
   * **optimized "Source to Kubernetes"** - Skaffold detects changes in your source code and handles the pipeline to
-  **build**, **push**, and **deploy** your application automatically with **policy based image tagging** and **highly optimized, fast local workflows**
-  * **continuous feedback** - Skaffold automatically manages logging and port-forwarding

+  * **continuous feedback** - Skaffold automatically manages deployment logging and resource port-forwarding
 * Skaffold projects work everywhere
   * **share with other developers** - Skaffold is the easiest way to **share your project** with the world: `git clone` and `skaffold run`
-  * **context aware** - use Skaffold profiles, user level config, environment variables and flags to describe differences in environments
-  * **CI/CD building blocks** - use `skaffold run` end-to-end or just part of Skaffold stages from build to deployment in your CI/CD system
+  * **context aware** - use Skaffold profiles, local user config, environment variables, and flags to easily incorporate differences across environments
+  * **CI/CD building blocks** - use `skaffold build` and `skaffold deploy` as part of your CI/CD pipeline, or simply `skaffold run` end-to-end
+  * **GitOps integration** - use `skaffold render` to build your images and render templated Kubernetes manifests for use in GitOps workflows
 * skaffold.yaml - a single pluggable, declarative configuration for your project
-  * **skaffold init** - Skaffold discovers your files and generates its own config file
-  * **multi-component apps** - Skaffold supports applications consisting of multiple components
-  * **bring your own tools** - Skaffold has a pluggable architecture to allow for different implementations of the stages
+  * **skaffold init** - Skaffold can discover your build and deployment configuration and generate a Skaffold config
+  * **multi-component apps** - Skaffold supports applications with many components, making it great for microservice-based applications
+  * **bring your own tools** - Skaffold has a pluggable architecture, allowing for different implementations of the build and deploy stages
 * Lightweight
-  * **client-side only** - Skaffold does not require maintaining a cluster-side component, so there is no overhead or maintenance burden to
