GitOps Workflow

This skill covers the entire lifecycle of a change in this repository, from creating a branch to verifying the deployment in ArgoCD.

1. Development and PR Creation

1. •Prepare Main: Ensure you are on the latest main.
   powershell

   git checkout main
   git pull origin main
   

2. •Feature Branch: Create a descriptive branch.
   powershell

   git checkout -b <branch-name>
   

3. •Commit & Push:
   powershell

   git add .
   git commit -m "<commit-message>"
   git push -u origin <branch-name>
   

4. •Create PR & Auto-Merge:
   powershell

   gh pr create --fill
   gh pr merge --auto --merge
   

2. CI Verification and Merge

1. •Watch Checks: Pause until CI completes.
   powershell

   gh pr checks --watch
   

   • •If checks fail: Investigate logs immediately:
     powershell

     gh run view --log-failed
     

2. •Verify Merge: Confirm the PR has reached the MERGED state.
   powershell

   gh pr view --json state -q .state
   

3. Post-Merge Sync and Deployment

1. •Update Local Main:
   powershell

   git checkout main
   git pull origin main
   

2. •Verify ArgoCD Sync: Confirm the change is applied to the cluster.
   powershell

   # App name is usually the directory name or found in argocd.yaml
   kubectl get app -n argocd <app-name>
   

3. •Verify Health: Ensure the application transitions to Healthy and Synced.

Standards

• •Auto-Sync: Most applications have prune: true and selfHeal: true.
• •Diagnostics: If the app is not healthy, use the k8s-diagnostic skill to investigate.
