Support for GitHub releases?

[AndreZiviani]

Some projects don't have helm charts and instead opted to distribute the manifests through GitHub releases (e.g. kubernetes metrics-server)

Is this use case supported? If so, how can I do it?

You can download the manifest and push it to your repository. Then, you can create an Argo CD application to deploy the manifest like this example https://github.com/argoproj/argocd-example-apps/tree/master/guestbook.

Sure but is there a way for argo to do it automatically? Track a specific version/release or latest?

In some projects are leveraging kustomize to do it. It is possible to point kustomize to the file attached in release:

https://github.com/argoproj/argoproj-deployments/blob/6965cad7e9d81f37f491111bca8c6ce6e24e9da7/argocd-notifications/kustomization.yaml#L7

This approach has some caveats though: Argo CD won't notice a change in remote file for up to 24 hrs. User would have to trigger "hard refresh" to get changes immidiatelly.

Seem like a good solution, thanks

Can you give more details on this?
