Helm, an open source package manager for Kubernetes, enables the management of software built for Kubernetes.
A Chart is a package containing information for deploying Kubernetes resources, while a Repository stores Chart collections for searching, downloading, and installing.
A Release represents a deployment of a Chart on a Kubernetes cluster.
Helm commands include managing repositories, such as adding, updating, and listing them.
For Chart management, Helm allows creation, linting, upgrades, packaging, and pushing to repositories.
To use packages from repositories, Helm offers commands for showing Chart definitions, values, downloading, installing, and pulling Charts.
For Release management, Helm provides commands for listing, fetching history, rolling back, and uninstalling releases.
The most common Helm commands include `helm repo list`, `helm search repo`, `helm repo add`, `helm repo update`, `helm create`, `helm lint`, `helm upgrade`, `helm package`, `helm show chart`, `helm show values`, `helm pull`, `helm install`, `helm list`, `helm history`, `helm rollback`, and `helm uninstall`.
These commands are used for various tasks such as installing, upgrading, and managing Helm Charts and releases.
