ArgoCD CLI

Command-line workflows for deploying and managing applications via argocd.

CLI Commands

argocd app list                # List all applications and sync status
argocd app get <app>           # Show app details, health, and resources
argocd app diff <app>          # Preview what would change on sync
argocd app sync <app>          # Apply pending changes
argocd app sync apps           # Sync the app-of-apps (picks up new Application manifests)

Login

  --username admin \

Branch-Testing Workflow

Test changes from a feature branch before merging:

# 1. Point the app at your branch
argocd app set <service> --revision <branch>
 
# 2. Sync to deploy the branch version
argocd app sync <service>
 
# 3. Test the changes...
 
# 4. After merge, reset to main and sync
argocd app set <service> --revision main
argocd app sync <service>
