helm-switcher

helmswitch is a CLI tool to install and switch between different versions of Helm 1, 2 or 3. Once installed, just run the command and use the dropdown to choose the desired version of Helm.

Available for Linux and MacOS

Why

Helm is the Kubernetes Package Manager, and Helm 2 will be deprecated at the end of 2020. This tool is meant to help teams have an easier time transitioning between helm 2 and 3.
