@anandf How about the updates to these sections?

Update these existing sections:

Srivaralakshmi · 2024-02-09T14:55:48Z

@anandf Can we add some content for these sections, if they are relevant at all?

About the OpenShift argo cd CLI (I think this is a nice to have section)
Logging in to the OpenShift argo cd CLI using a web browser
usage instructions - information that must go as admonitions such as Note, Important, Tip, caution, or warning.

Added sections for creating and syncing app using CLI in both normal and core modes.

@anandf Can we add some content for these sections, if they are relevant at all?

Logging in to the OpenShift argo cd CLI using a web browser

This is not applicable. One has to login via the CLI itself. Its not possible to login via web browser like its possible for oc login

+
+#### Core mode
+
+In the `core` mode (`--core` argument specified), the CLI talks directly to the Kubernetes API server set as per the `KUBECONFIG` environment variable or the default file `$HOME/.kube/config`. There is no need for users to login into the ArgoCD server for executing commands. The commands would be run as user configured in the kubeconfig file. 


@anandf The commands would be run as user configured in the kubeconfig file.

By this, do you mean that the commands are pre-configured in the kubeconfig file to be automatically run by default for the user from the CLI for executing commands?

I have reworded the sentences to clarify.
In summary, the credentials are available in the kubeconfig file and that would be used for executing the commands in the core mode.

+  1. With the default context in kubeconfig file


@anandf I guess what you mean is .. for step 1 -- Use this default context in kubeconfig file

and then step 2 is optional if users want to customize the context in case they are using multiple ArgoCD instances. If so, then they must have to use the step 2 option to set the context to interact with the appropriate ArgoCD instance of their choice. Right?

My only confusion is, do they have to edit this [context] parameter? Can we have a quick call tomorrow when you are available to understand this better?

Can we give an example here? I think that will help. WDYT?

Yes. Instead of numbered steps, I have put them as Options so users can choose one of the available options to run the commands. Yes [context] is a placeholder which users have to fill in. I have provided detailed examples for each option.

Thanks @anandf for the clarifications and additional inputs.
The rest LGTM.

+Use the CLI tool to manage Red Hat OpenShift GitOps from a terminal. You can install the CLI tool on different platforms.
+
+### Installing the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps CLI on Linux using an RPM
+For Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) version 8, you can install the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps CLI as an RPM.


@anandf what about Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) version 9? is it not applicable?

Should we update this to RHEL 9?

I think its better not to mention the version at all. Customers can be either in RHEL 8/9 version.

@anandf version must be mentioned. something like, For Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) version 8 and later ?

No mentioning is not a good practice.

@anandf FOr RHEL 9, would the repo inputs be the following ones?

"gitops-1.12-for-rhel-9-ppc64le-rpms"

"gitops-1.12-for-rhel-9-aarch64-rpms"

@anandf Please provide clarifications for these queries:

For ROSA, OSD, and ARO distros, will all these steps, commands, and procedures hold good as is?

Is there any difference between what GitOps offers OCP v/s what we do for OSD, ROSA, and ARO distros?

Can you please confirm that there are no changes or special configurations needed to use GitOps argocd CLI on OSD, ROSA, and ARO distros out of the box?

Thank you!

@anandf Steps should be in an ordered/numbered list as they are a sequence of steps. This comment applies to all the CLI installation procedures on different operating systems.

+      ```
+  3. If the argo application is created with manual sync policy, then the user has to trigger the sync operation manually. This can be done by using the `argocd` CLI in normal mode as below


@anandf The 3rd step of sync procedure in normal mode here must be this right:
argocd app sync openshift-gitops/app-spring-petclinic

For cluster:
argocd app sync openshift-gitops/app-cluster-configs

There is no --core here. Correct?

@anandf In CEE confluence content, we have this 3rd step as extra:

Validate that you are able to run argocd commands in normal mode by executing the following command to list all Applications.
$ argocd app list

Do we need it here too in the downstream docs? Please confirm.
