For chart developers, it is 11 often easier to manage a single dependency file ('requirements.yaml') 12 which declares all dependencies. 13 14 The dependency commands operate on that file, making it easy to synchronize 15 between the desired dependencies and the actual dependencies stored in the 16 'charts/' directory. 17 18 A 'requirements.yaml' file is a YAML file in which developers can declare chart 19 dependencies, along with the location of the chart and the desired version. 20 For example, this requirements file declares two dependencies: 21 22 # requirements.yaml 23 dependencies: 24 - name: nginx 25 version: "1.2.3" 26 repository: "https://example.com/charts" 27 - name: memcached 28 version: "3.2.1" 29 repository: "https://another.example.com/charts" 30 31 The 'name' should be the name of a chart, where that name must match the name 32 in that chart's 'Chart.yaml' file. 33 34 The 'version' field should contain a semantic version or version range. 35 36 The 'repository' URL should point to a Chart Repository. Helm expects that by 37 appending '/index.yaml' to the URL, it should be able to retrieve the chart 38 repository's index. Note: 'repository' can be an alias. The alias must start 39 with 'alias:' or '@'. 40 41 Starting from 2.2.0, repository can be defined as the path to the directory of 42 the dependency charts stored locally. The path should start with a prefix of 43 "file://". For example, 44 45 # requirements.yaml 46 dependencies: 47 - name: nginx 48 version: "1.2.3" 49 repository: "file://../dependency_chart/nginx" 50 51 If the dependency chart is retrieved locally, it is not required to have the 52 repository added to helm by "helm repo add". Version matching is also supported 53 for this case. 54 55 56 ### Options 57 58 ``` 59 -h, --help help for dependency 60 ``` 61 62 ### Options inherited from parent commands 63 64 ``` 65 --debug Enable verbose output 66 --home string Location of your Helm config.
