-    - [ ] Trigger the release
-    - [ ] After the release is finished, publish tweet and blog post
-    - [ ] Post in #argo-cd and #argo-announcements with lots of emojis announcing the release and requesting help testing
- - [ ] Monitor support channels for issues, cherry-picking bugfixes and docs fixes as appropriate (or delegate this task to an Approver and coordinate timing)
- - [ ] At release date, evaluate if any bugs justify delaying the release. If not, cut the release (or delegate this task to an Approver and coordinate timing)
- - [ ] If unreleased changes are on the release branch for {current minor version minus 3}, cut a final patch release for that series (or delegate this task to an Approver and coordinate timing)
- - [ ] After the release, post in #argo-cd that the {current minor version minus 3} has reached EOL (example: https://cloud-native.slack.com/archives/C01TSERG0KZ/p1667336234059729)
- - [ ] (For the next release champion) Review the [items scheduled for the next release](https://github.com/orgs/argoproj/projects/25). If any item does not have an assignee who can commit to finish the feature, move it to the next release.
- - [ ] (For the next release champion) Schedule a time mid-way through the release cycle to review items again.

-# Reusable workflows

-## image-reuse.yaml
-
- The resuable workflow can be used to publish or build images with multiple container registries(Quay,GHCR, dockerhub), and then sign them with cosign when an image is published.
- A GO version `must` be specified e.g. 1.21
- The image name for each registry *must* contain the tag. Note: multiple tags are allowed for each registry using a CSV type.
- Multiple platforms can be specified e.g. linux/amd64,linux/arm64
- Images are not published by default. A boolean value must be set to `true` to push images.
- An optional target can be specified.

-    ## Quick Start
-
-    ### Non-HA:
-
-    ```shell
-    kubectl create namespace argocd
-    kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/{{.Tag}}/manifests/install.yaml
-    ```
-
-    ### HA:
-
-    ```shell
-    kubectl create namespace argocd
-    kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/{{.Tag}}/manifests/ha/install.yaml
-    ```
-
-    ## Release Signatures and Provenance
-
-    All Argo CD container images are signed by cosign.  A Provenance is generated for container images and CLI binaries which meet the SLSA Level 3 specifications. See the [documentation](https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/operator-manual/signed-release-assets) on how to verify.
-
-
-    ## Upgrading
-
-    If upgrading from a different minor version, be sure to read the [upgrading](https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/operator-manual/upgrading/overview/) documentation.
