Body: <p>I want to deploy apps via ArgoCD with Helm and use the provided Helm charts. I also want to specify custom values but in a declarative way (not setting them after deployment with Argo gui or cli). Argo seems to assume that you control the Helm Repo and therefore the <code>values.yaml</code>, but I'd like to use the repos out there and not mirror everything while having the <code>values.yaml</code> in git repo. How is this usually done?</p>
  <ol>
  <li>Mirror helm chart with own <code>values.yaml</code> (a lot of work to keep up to date with 15+ apps)</li>
  <li>Have an app in a git repo that uses helm (not sure how to do this)</li>
  <li>Have a helm repo and an app that kustomizes it (also not sure how to do this)</li>
  </ol>
  <p>What's the proper way to do this?</p>

Comments: I don't know flux, so I can't answer that. My current workaround is to create a helm chart that references the original helm chart.

  I want to deploy apps via ArgoCD with Helm and use the provided Helm charts. I also want to specify custom values but in a declarative way (not setting them after deployment with Argo gui or cli). Argo seems to assume that you control the Helm Repo and therefore the `values.yaml`, but I'd like to use the repos out there and not mirror everything while having the `values.yaml` in git repo. How is this usually done?
  
  1. Mirror helm chart with own `values.yaml` (a lot of work to keep up to date with 15+ apps)
  2. Have an app in a git repo that uses helm (not sure how to do this)
  3. Have a helm repo and an app that kustomizes it (also not sure how to do this)
  
  What's the proper way to do this?
