Overview

requirements.yaml is an optional metadata file that contains the immediate dependencies for the chart, expressed as a list of name, version and repository URL tuples. Note that the immediate dependencies might have dependencies on their own, which are not expressed in the chart's requirements.yaml file. Helm manages those as well. For a general discussion on chart dependencies, see Helm Dependencies.
