GitOps with Argo CD: Structuring Your Repository for Multi-Environment Deployments
Best practices for organizing Git repositories when using Argo CD to manage deployments across development, staging, and production environments.
Why should you keep your application source code and your Kubernetes manifests in separate Git repositories?
Mixing app code and deploy configs means every code commit triggers a config repo scan, and deploy changes pollute your app commit history. Separate repos give you independent access control (devs vs. SREs), cleaner audit trails, and let Argo CD watch only the config repo without noisy webhooks from code changes.
