5. Adding the Git repository to ArgoCD

Argo CD can retrieve your repository from your Git hosting server, synchronize changes and deploy your Kubernetes manifests.

  1. Create a local secret containing an SSH deploy key and the git URL:
argo/default/secrets/my-repository-secret.yaml.local
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: my-repository-secret
  namespace: argocd
  labels:
    argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type: repository
type: Opaque
stringData:
  sshPrivateKey: |
    -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
    -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
  type: git
  url: git@github.com:<your account>/<your repo>.git
  1. Seal it and apply it:
cfctl kubeseal
kubectl apply -f argo/default/secrets/my-repository-sealed-secret.yaml
