     3  ## Production
     4  
     5  Argo CD supports several different ways in which Kubernetes manifests can be defined:
     6  
     7  * [Kustomize](kustomize.md) applications
     8  * [Helm](helm.md) charts
     9  * [OCI](oci.md) images
    10  * A directory of YAML, JSON, or [Jsonnet](jsonnet.md) manifests.
    11  * Any [custom config management tool](../operator-manual/config-management-plugins.md) configured as a config management plugin
    12  
    13  ## Development
    14  Argo CD also supports uploading local manifests directly. Since this is an anti-pattern of the
    15  GitOps paradigm, this should only be done for development purposes. A user with an `override` permission is required
    16  to upload manifests locally (typically an admin). All the different Kubernetes deployment tools mentioned above are supported.
    17  To upload a local application:
    18  
    19  ```bash
    20  $ argocd app sync APPNAME --local /path/to/dir/
    21  ```
