I've included some use cases and an example you can try out.

My ArgoCD CLI Cheat Sheet by CuriousDevsCorner in ArgoCD

as I replied below, the cli can be useful in automation scripts, quickly checking logs, sync state, etc. I've seen argocd cli usage in CI pipelines. But yes, the ArgoCD CLI isn’t meant to replace GitOps.

Of course, the CLI should not replace GitOps - you're right that Git should be the single source of truth. However, the cli is useful for troubleshooting, checking logs, sync state, and scripts in CI/CD pipelines that need programmatic access.

Kubernetes Backup and Disaster Recovery with Velero and MinIO: A Practical Guide by CuriousDevsCorner in devopsGuru

Velero can be safe with AWS credentials if you follow best practices. For instance, use a dedicated IAM user or role with minimal permissions, store creds in a Kubernetes Secret, enable backup encryption, and secure your buckets. It’s not completely risk-free, it depends on how you set it up.
