This is a simple way to share Helm charts with the community. In this post, I&rsquo;ll show you how to create a Helm repository using Github Pages either for personal use or for your organization.</p> <h2 id="assumptions">Assumptions</h2> <p>This post will assume your already:</p> <ul> <li>Know what <a href="https://kubernetes.io/">kubernetes</a> is</li> <li>Have a basic understanding of <a href="https://helm.sh/">helm</a></li> <li>Have a <a href="https://github.com">Github</a> account and repository</li> <li>Have coded a Helm chart</li> </ul> <h2 id="steps">Steps</h2> <p>Having all the above already in place, there are some things we need to do before we can use Github as a Helm repository. In particular, we need to enable Github Pages for our repository and add at least one <code>index.html</code> file to it. According to <a href="https://v2.helm.sh/docs/chart_repository/#github-pages-example">this</a> documentation, the <code>index.html</code> file shouldn&rsquo;t be needed, but in reallity it is necessary for Helm to recognize the repository as a Helm repository.</p>
