!!! note
If you want Argo CD to include all existing prerelease version tags of a repository in the comparison logic, you explicitly have to add a prerelease `-0` suffix to the version constraint. As mentioned `*-0` will compare against prerelease versions in a repository, `*` will not. The same applies for other constraints e.g. `>=1.2.2` will **not** compare prerelease versions vs. `>=1.2.2-0` which will include prerelease versions in the comparison.
