ArgoCD CLI Gets an Upgrade: Plugins, Flexibility, and More
summary
Adds plugin support to the ArgoCD CLI so any executable named argocd- on the system absolute PATH becomes a subcommand, with the important limitation that plugins cannot override existing subcommands and CLI-level flags reset to defaults for plugins. Demonstrates a real plugin mta (migrate to ArgoCD) that converts Flux HelmReleases and Kustomizations into ArgoCD Application/ApplicationSet CRs and successfully generates apply-ready YAML in the live demo. No SDK yet; list plugins by scanning PATH (ls | grep argocd-).
