auto-create PR with proposed image version changes

[tooptoop4]

the docs say "Argo CD will either automatically deploy the new image version or mark the Application as Out Of Sync, and you can trigger the image update manually by syncing the Application."

would be great if there was another option where it auto creates a PR with the proposed image version changes, then can go through a quick approval/review before being merged

This is actually on the roadmap, but requires some design prerequisites (e.g. retaining some kind of status information somewhere).

We are currently figuring out the direction of image updater, e.g. whether to make it a part of Argo CD and how (i.e. integrate it into the Application CRD, having a unique CRD, change nothing). Once we know that, the PR feature is one of the first things we'll tackle.

any update on that? I'd love to have a PR opened instead of directly commiting changes to my git repository

Jann's above comment still holds as we're working on some of the dependent tasks.
