Hi @akhilnittala. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a redhat-developer member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Thanks @akhilnittala. Overall looks good. Left some comments.

Did we run any tests with DISABLE_DEFAULT_ARGOCD_INSTANCE=true env? This env var can be used to control creation and deletion of default ArgoCD instance. When set, the default instance should not be created.

Yes siddhesh, added env variable in manager.yaml in config files as - name: DISABLE_DEFAULT_ARGOCD_INSTANCE ; value: "true" and tested it, it didnt create default argocd instance.

Thanks @akhilnittala . The change looks good. Can we add a sequential e2e test? You can use this as a reference: https://github.com/redhat-developer/gitops-operator/blob/master/test/openshift/e2e/ginkgo/sequential/1-018_validate_disable_default_instance_test.go
