charts

This repository is the old, now-archived home of the official "stable" and "incubator" Helm chart collections for Kubernetes. The description and the README both flag it as obsolete. Helm is a packaging system for Kubernetes, the container orchestration platform; a Helm chart bundles up the configuration files needed to install a piece of software on a cluster in one command. This project used to be where the community shared and maintained those bundles for common applications.

The README explains that the project went into a one-year maintenance mode starting in November 2019, when Helm 3 was released. From that date no new charts were accepted, only patches. In August 2020 the repositories were de-listed from the Helm Hub, and on 13 November 2020 support formally ended. The git repository itself remains as a frozen archive. The canonical place to find Helm charts today is Artifact Hub, an aggregator that lists distributed chart repositories. The old stable and incubator repos can still technically be added to a local Helm client with the commands shown in the README — helm repo add stable and helm repo add incubator pointing at charts.helm.sh — but they are no longer maintained.

You would only land here for historical reference, to read an old chart as a template for one you are writing yourself, or if some legacy automation still pulls from the stable URL. For any new work the README directs you to the current Helm docs and to Artifact Hub. The repository itself contains Go tooling and the chart sources organised into stable and incubator folders.
