Helm chart dependencies

Helm charts store their dependencies in charts/. For chart developers, it is often easier to manage dependencies in Chart.yaml, which declares all dependencies.

The dependency commands (build, list, update) operate on that file, making it easy to synchronize between the desired dependencies and the actual dependencies stored in the charts/ directory.

For example, this Chart.yaml declares a single dependency:

• prometheus

dependencies:
  - name: prometheus
    version: "15.14.0"
    repository: https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
    condition: prometheus.enabled
