A tool to assist with compiling Helm Charts
A core feature of Helm Charts is dependency management. One interesting aspect of Dependency Management is the use of file:// URLs. These allow multiple charts to exist together and to be composed in various ways.
However, there is a limitation in Helm that file:// URLs are not well supported: Dependency commands such as helm dep build will not resolve transitive dependencies.
Helmet enhances the Helm dep management story by providing a tool that can understand file:// based dependencies and act as a replacement for the helm dep build command with full support for transitives.
It also offers an ability to override the appVersion of various charts in the process, enabling a straight forward way to create a fully packaged assembly.
