Overview

Revised for Helm 3

Caching repositories locally is useful when installing charts and specifying the chart to be installed using the name of the locally cached repository and the name of the chart. However, charts can be installed directly from the remote repository, without having to add (cache) the repository locally.

helm repo list

Add a New Repository

helm repo add <repository-name> <repository-url> [--username <username>] [--password <password>]

helm repo add dev https://example.com/dev-charts

Note that the repository must expose an index.yaml, otherwise the above command will fail with .../index.yaml 404 Not Found.

helm repo add incubator https://kubernetes-charts-incubator.storage.googleapis.com/
