How do you add a new application in an App of Apps setup?

Intermediate

Answer

Commit a new child Application manifest into the directory the root watches; on the next sync the root creates the new child, which then deploys its workloads. Adding an app is thus a simple Git commit, keeping the process GitOps-native.
Real-world example Onboarding a new service is just adding its Application YAML to the apps directory and merging.
