cmd/gitops-pusher: add new GitOps assistant (#4893)
This is for an upcoming blogpost on how to manage Tailscale ACLs using a
GitOps flow. This tool is intended to be used in CI and will allow users
to have a git repository be the ultimate source of truth for their ACL
file. This enables ACL changes to be proposed, approved and discussed
before they are applied.

# gitops-pusher
This is a small tool to help people achieve a
[GitOps](https://about.gitlab.com/topics/gitops/) workflow with Tailscale ACL
changes. This tool is intended to be used in a CI flow that looks like this:
```yaml
name: Tailscale ACL syncing
on:
push:
branches: [ "main" ]
pull_request:
branches: [ "main" ]
jobs:
acls:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Setup Go environment
uses: actions/setup-go@v3.2.0
- name: Install gitops-pusher
run: go install tailscale.com/cmd/gitops-pusher@latest
- name: Deploy ACL
if: github.event_name == 'push'
env:
TS_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.TS_API_KEY }}
TS_TAILNET: ${{ secrets.TS_TAILNET }}
run: |
~/go/bin/gitops-pusher --policy-file ./policy.hujson apply
- name: ACL tests
if: github.event_name == 'pull_request'
env:
TS_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.TS_API_KEY }}
TS_TAILNET: ${{ secrets.TS_TAILNET }}
run: |
~/go/bin/gitops-pusher --policy-file ./policy.hujson test
```
Change the value of the `--policy-file` flag to point to the policy file on
disk. Policy files should be in [HuJSON](https://github.com/tailscale/hujson)
format.
