Creating an ArgoCD Deployment Project

Users can create a project using App Template, Tool Management, and ArgoCD.

Starting Project Creation

To start creating a project, follow these steps.

1. Click the Create Project button on the Main page. This will take you to the Create Project page.

Entering Basic Information

Enter the project’s basic information. The project name and project ID must be unique and cannot be duplicated.

To enter the basic information, follow these steps.

Selecting an App Template

Users can select an application template to configure their project.

If you create a project based on an application template with sample source code, you can verify the application to be deployed.

On the other hand, using a template marked as Environment Only configures only the build/deployment environment without sample source code.

If you are using an already configured source code repository to configure your project, select a template marked as Environment Only.

To start choosing an application template, follow these steps:

1. Application Template screen, enter the template name to select the desired application template card and click it.
2. When the Next button is activated, click the Next button.

Setting up a Code Repository

The user can set up a repository to manage the source code through the code repository setting step.

Creating a New Repository and Using an Existing Repository activation conditions vary depending on the Application Template and Tool.
