How do you deploy a Helm chart with ArgoCD and override values?

Intermediate

Answer

Point the source at a Helm repo (chart + targetRevision) or a Git path containing the chart, then supply overrides via helm.values (inline), helm.valueFiles, or helm.parameters. ArgoCD renders the chart with `helm template` (it doesn't use Tiller) and applies the resulting manifests, tracking them like any other resource.
source:
  repoURL: https://github.com/org/charts
  path: web
  helm:
    valueFiles: [values-prod.yaml]
    parameters:
      - name: image.tag
        value: v1.4.2
Real-world example Production overrides the image tag and replica count via a values-prod.yaml, while staging uses values-staging.yaml.

Common follow-ups: Does ArgoCD use Tiller? | valueFiles vs parameters vs inline values?
