How To Mimic ArgoCD GitOps in Your Local K8s Cluster
summary
Shows how to run a full Argo CD GitOps control plane locally by bootstrapping Argo CD and a local Gogs git server into a Kind cluster with a tiny CLI, pushing a Helm guestbook chart to the local repo, port‑forwarding the services and syncing to create namespaces and pods. Demonstrates adding a second Kind cluster (two clusters total), patching a missing serviceaccount secret, and successfully deploying the app to the remote cluster.
