jx-gitops/pkg/cmd/split at main · jenkins-x-plugins/jx-gitops a simple CLI tool for working with kubernetes resources files in a GitOps repository - jenkins-x-plugins/jx-gitops

I've a little CLI tool I use with pkl & kustomize based projects to generate a canonical tree of yaml files. I'm hoping to open source it soon 🤞

Until then this CLI from Jenkins X might help: jenkins-x.io/v3/develop/r...

source is here: github.com/jenkins-x-pl...

I was skeptical when you first did it… but since come to agree. This is the way.

1/ I’ve become an unofficial evangelist for Bluesky. (I don’t work here.)

if you are interested in how mirrord works under the covers, this was a great talk at KubeCon Paris I was lucky enough to attend: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OSQ...

mirrord | Faster, Simpler Kubernetes DevelopmentFaster, Simpler Kubernetes Development - Rethinking cloud development mirrord lets you run local processes in the real-time context of your k8s environment, and test continuously in the cloud going through CI and deployment.

if you ever want to debug your code inside your IDE when its running inside kubernetes I'd recommend giving mirrord a try: mirrord.dev

I've used it on a bunch of projects via the IntelliJ plugin and it worked really nicely

Extra bonus points for using a canonical file layout for the rendered YAML files and using a single resource per file.

Its then even easier to review/compare the history of a single resource in particular environment in git via the GitHub website

Great video from Viktor on GitOps: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWE2...

Whatever tool you use to generate your kubernetes manifests, render them as YAML in your CI & check results into git in another branch/repo. Its then much simpler to review & reason about changes & simplifies your GitOps tooling
