Quick Start

Apply the com.citi.helm plugin to your Gradle project:

build.gradle

plugins {
    id 'com.citi.helm' version '2.1.0'
}

build.gradle.kts

plugins {
    id("com.citi.helm") version "2.1.0"
}

Put your Helm chart sources into src/main/helm:

📂 (project root)
    📂 src
        📂 main
            📂 helm
                📂 templates
                    📄 ...
                📄 Chart.yaml
                📄 values.yaml

Use the helmPackage task to build your chart.
