 ## Patches
-Patches are a way to kustomize resources using inline configurations in Argo CD applications.  This allows for kustomizing without  kustomization file.  `patches`  follow the same logic as the corresponding Kustomization.  Any patches that target existing Kustomization file will be merged.

+The inline kustomize patches work well with `ApplicationSets`, too. Instead of maintaining a patch or overlay for each cluster, patches can now be done in the `Application` template and utilize attributes from the generators. For example, with [`external-dns`](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns/) to set the [`txt-owner-id`](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns/blob/e1adc9079b12774cccac051966b2c6a3f18f7872/docs/registry/registry.md?plain=1#L6) to the cluster name.

 ## Private Remote Bases
 
 If you have remote bases that are either (a) HTTPS and need username/password (b) SSH and need SSH private key, then they'll inherit that from the app's repo.
