How to sync new application using cli

[JoniJnm]

Hi,

I use argocd and I have doubts about how "pull changes from repository" and "sync app" works.

If I push changes to the git repository, argocd needs first to fetch git data first (done every timeout.reconciliation seconds, more info here). And then sync the applications.

Argocd cli has the command "sync" to synchronize existing applications but I can't find a command to manually "fetch" the git data. I want to do something similar as webhook does: https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/operator-manual/webhook/#overview. I mean, to say argcodc: "ey, I pushed new changes to the git repository"

In my real use case I have a job and I want to create an application and wait until it's ready and healthy, so I have to do something like:

1. Push changes to the repository
2. Tell argocd there are new changes to fetch from git repository changes. How?
3. Run argocd sync (I can't sync an unexisting app)
4. Run argocd wait

How can I do the second step? Thanks

Seems like it's:

argocd repo get "$THE_REPO" --refresh hard
