File contents

GitOps / ArgoCD

Overview

Deploy through git, not through kubectl. The git repository is the source of truth; ArgoCD reconciles it. Prefer the ArgoCD MCP server (argocd preset) or the argocd CLI when available; fall back to reading Application CRs with kubectl.

Common commands

argocd app list
argocd app get <app>
argocd app diff <app>
argocd app history <app>
argocd app sync <app> --dry-run
kubectl get applications.argoproj.io -n argocd
kubectl describe application <app> -n argocd

Workflow

Locate the Application: repo URL, path, target revision, destination cluster/namespace, sync policy.
To change what is deployed: edit the manifests/kustomize/Helm values in the git repo, commit on a branch, open a PR/MR, and let review + ArgoCD do the rest. Do not patch live resources.
After merge: watch sync status and health (argocd app get, app wait), then verify the workload itself (rollout status, logs).
For drift: argocd app diff first, then decide - sync (git wins) or port the live change back into git.

Rules

argocd app sync on prod apps, rollbacks, and app delete require human-approval.
Never disable auto-sync or prune without saying so in the report.
Never commit secrets to the GitOps repo; use sealed-secrets/external-secrets references.
