Get Your Helm Charts Out There!
summary
A reproducible flow that packages and publishes Helm charts to GitHub Pages using chart-releaser and chart-testing (ct), testing on ephemeral kind clusters spun up in CircleCI (demo uses a control plane plus two workers). ct lints, installs, runs upgrade tests (previous minor → current and same-version in-place), packages changed charts, creates GitHub releases and an index.yaml. Demo merge creates releases and updates the index, though some community charts still fail tests and need fixes.
