is a nice package manager for Kubernetes. If you are using k8s specially in complex setups helm can help you in creating a nice release process. Helm In complex setups sometimes you need a private helm repository for your packages. This is how you can use a github repo, public or private, as helm repo. Create a helm chart repo in github It is easy. Create a repo and for adding packages, follow these commands $ helm package $YOUR_CHART_PATH/ # to build the tgz file and copy it here$ helm repo index . # create or update the index.yaml for repo$ git add .$ git commit -m 'New chart version'$ git push Access your repo At the moment helm only understand http(s) for repository servers. The following trick shows how you can have that in a private or public github repo without using gh-pages. You might know that github has a raw view. So simply use the following: $ helm repo add sample ' $ helm repo update$ helm search aerospikeNAME             VERSION DESCRIPTIONsample/aerospike 0.1.2   A Helm chart for Aerospike in Kubernetes https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kmzfs/helm-repo-in-github/master/' and if you want to keep your repo private you can create a “Personal access tokens” and use it like: $ helm repo add sample ' https://MY_PRIVATE_TOKEN@raw.githubusercontent.com/kmzfs/helm-repo-in-github/master/' Just be careful who is creating the token and what is its level of access. _helm-repo-in-github - This is a sample for how to setup a helm repo in github_github.com kmzfs/helm-repo-in-github
