     1  # The .helmignore file
     2  
     3  The `.helmignore` file is used to specify files you don't want to include in your helm chart.
     4  
     5  If this file exists, the `helm package` command will ignore all the files that match the pattern specified in the `.helmignore` file while packaging your application.
     6  
     7  This can help in avoiding unnecessary or sensitive files or directories from being added in your helm chart.
     8  
     9  The `.helmignore` file supports Unix shell glob matching, relative path matching, and negation (prefixed with !). Only one pattern per line is considered.
    10  
    11  Here is an example `.helmignore` file:
    12  
    13  ```
    14  # comment
    15  .git
    16  */temp*
    17  */*/temp*
    18  temp?
    19  ```
