This commit replaces usage of github.com/ghodss/yaml with it's forked version maintained by SIG community. The replaced library has low-to-none support activity unlike the latter. We believe the new Helm branch could benefit from using the community-supported version on a long-term run as yaml parser is a key component of Helm chart rendering engine. This commit locks sigs.k8s.io/yaml dependency version on 1.1.0 which is backwards compatible with ghodss/yaml 1.0.0. This change also resolves the outdated dependency version lock for ghodss/yaml (currently 1.0.0) and makes it possible to port changes from https://github.com/helm/helm/pull/6010 to dev-v3.

Helm
Helm is a tool for managing Charts. Charts are packages of pre-configured Kubernetes resources.
Use Helm to:
- Find and use popular software packaged as Helm Charts to run in Kubernetes
- Share your own applications as Helm Charts
- Create reproducible builds of your Kubernetes applications
- Intelligently manage your Kubernetes manifest files
- Manage releases of Helm packages
Helm in a Handbasket
Helm is a tool that streamlines installing and managing Kubernetes applications. Think of it like apt/yum/homebrew for Kubernetes.
- Helm has two parts: a client (
helm) and a library - The library renders your templates and communicates with the Kubernetes API
- Helm runs on your laptop, CI/CD, or wherever you want it to run.
- Charts are Helm packages that contain at least two things:
- A description of the package (
Chart.yaml) - One or more templates, which contain Kubernetes manifest files
- A description of the package (
- Charts can be stored on disk, or fetched from remote chart repositories (like Debian or RedHat packages)
Install
Binary downloads of the Helm client can be found on the Releases page.
Unpack the helm binary and add it to your PATH and you are good to go!
If you want to use a package manager:
- Homebrew users can use
brew install kubernetes-helm. - Chocolatey users can use
choco install kubernetes-helm. - Scoop users can use
scoop install helm. - GoFish users can use
gofish install helm.
To rapidly get Helm up and running, start with the Quick Start Guide.
See the installation guide for more options, including installing pre-releases.
