GOFF

Inspired from Kostis Kapelonis (Codefresh.io) talk at the KubeCon about How to Preview and Diff Your Argo CD Deployments we relased our own GitOps Diff tool (Goff). This tool helps you to preview your changes in your GitOps Repository.

How it works

Checkout the examples

Kustomize example

Example for Kustomization diff

#Build base and all overlays from source branch
goff kustomize build ./source/kustomize --output-dir /tmp/source/out
#Build base and all overlays from target branch
goff kustomize build ./target/kustomize --output-dir /tmp/target/out
#Diff rendered manifests
goff diff "/tmp/source" "/tmp/target" --title=Preview --output-dir .

1. Create a new branch and commit your changes in your Kustomize deployment
2. Run your pipeline, Goff renders the Base and the Overlays and calculate the diff between the source and target branch.
3. Check the auto generated comment in your Pull request and review the changes
