See these docs https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/operator-manual/high_availability/#argocd-repo-server

@todaywasawesome I'm using a pattern similar to what is described here: https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/operator-manual/applicationset/Generators-Git/#git-generator-files

When I add a new directory with a file similar to the config,json described in the example, the ApplicationSet is not picking it up after 3 minutes. Even restarting the applicationset controller and repo server does not trigger the creation of a new Application. Same with removal. When I reduce the caching for the repo server as described in this PR, the ApplicationSet picks up the new files. If this is considered a bug, I can file a Github issue for it.

@rolandkool would you mind sharing what version Argo CD you're using and what git provider?

I tested this with 2.10.7 iirc and the git provider is our internal gitlab instance.
