hcr

Helm chart releaser is a tool to help to host helm repository as GitHub page, where packaged chart is uploaded as a release asset and the index file is hosted on GitHub page. This tool is very similar to helm chart releaser, but is simpler and works with private repos as well.

Download

• binary

Install

Brew

• add tap brew tap pete911/tap
• install brew install hcr

Go

• clone git clone https://github.com/pete911/hcr.git && cd hcr
• install go install

## Use

Usage of hcr: -charts-dir string The Helm charts location (default "charts") -dry-run Whether to skip release update gh-pages index update -pages-branch string The GitHub pages branch (default "gh-pages") -pre-release Whether the (chart) release should be marked as pre-release -remote string The Git remote for the GitHub Pages branch (default "origin") -tag string Release tag, defaults to chart version -token string GitHub Auth Token -version Print hcr version

Simply run `hcr` inside the project, this will:
- check if `-pages-branch` exists
- packages helm charts from `-charts-dir` to current directory as `<name>-<version>.tgz`
- adds `-pages-branch` git worktree to temp. directory
- creates release per chart in `-charts-dir` and uploads packaged chart as asset to that release
- update index file with the released charts, commit and push index file to `-pages-branch`

This makes it simpler and easier than [helm chart releaser](https://github.com/helm/chart-releaser), because we are not
reading from GitHub pages (or downloading releases) over http, so we don't face issues with restrictions on private
repositories (autogenerated pages link, authentication, ...), caching (GitHub pages are not updated immediately with
the latest changes) etc.

## Release
Releases are published when the new tag is created e.g. git tag -m "add super cool feature" v0.0.1 && git push --follow-tags
