⚠️ Kargo Render and its GitHub Action are no longer maintained.

Kargo Render was extracted from Kargo when it was a younger project in order to make parts of it having to do with the well-proven rendered branches pattern more immediately accessible, without requiring users to buy into a larger body of more experimental concepts. Since that time, Kargo has matured significantly, and since prior to its GA release, its robust support for the rendered branches pattern no longer relies on Kargo Render. At this time, Kargo's maintainers are confident that anything that could be done with Kargo Render can now be done better by Kargo itself.

If you are among those who found Kargo Render to be useful, we invite you to now consider using Kargo instead.

Use Kargo Render for GitHub Actions along with Kustomize or Helm to pre-render environment-specific configuration into (plain YAML) Kubernetes manifests committed (or PR'ed) to environment-specific branches that are easily consumed by your favorite GitOps platform.

🟡  Both Kargo Render and its GitHub Action are highly experimental at this time and breaking changes should be anticipated between pre-GA minor releases.

First learn about Kargo Render in our docs.

Then, integrate with GitHub Actions. In this simple example, every commit to the main branch results in environment-specific configuration being rendered and written to the env/dev, env/stage, and env/prod branches.
