helm create

Create a new chart with the given name

Synopsis

This command creates a chart directory along with the common files anddirectories used in a chart. It provides a basic example and is notmeant to cover all Kubernetes resources.

For example, ‘helm create foo’ will create a directory structure that lookssomething like this:

  1. foo/
  2.   |
  3.   |- .helmignore        # Contains patterns to ignore when packaging Helm charts.
  4.   |
  5.   |- Chart.yaml         # Information about your chart
  6.   |
  7.   |- values.yaml        # The default values for your templates
  8.   |
  9.   |- charts/            # Charts that this chart depends on
  10.   |
  11.   |- templates/         # The template files
  12.   |
  13.   |- templates/tests/   # The test files

‘helm create’ takes a path for an argument. If directories in the given pathdo not exist, Helm will attempt to create them as it goes. If the givendestination exists and there are files in that directory, conflicting fileswill be overwritten, but other files will be left alone.

The chart that is created by invoking this command contains a Deployment, Ingressand a Service. To use other Kubernetes resources with your chart, refer toThe Chart Template Developer’s Guide.
