• minikube stop
• minikube delete
• minikube start
• kubectl config use-context minikube # activation
• kubectl config get-contexts # kubectl is pointing to the correct cluster and context.
• kubectl get pods -n argocd #Once Minikube is running, check if Argo CD resources are available and running

• kubectl get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -n argocd -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 --decode

Step 4:

Create an Argo CD Application that points to your GitHub repository:

• $ argocd app create fastapi-cicd
  --repo https://github.com/mehdi-repo/fastapi-cicd.git
  --path kubernetes
  --dest-server https://kubernetes.default.svc
  --dest-namespace default
  --revision main

Step 5:

Sync the Application

• $ argocd app sync

Step 6:

Monitor the Application Check the status of your application to see if it has been successfully deployed:

• $ argocd app get
