The version of Cobra used in dev-v3 is older than the one used
for the master branch (helm v2). Although the dev-v3 branch
was based on master and therefore had the same Cobra version
originally, it was changed a couple of times to choose Cobra
tagged versions instead.
However, the currently used 0.0.3 version of Cobra is older than
the version of Cobra used on the master branch. Therefore, some of the
improvements made to Cobra and used by helm v2 are not available
to helm v3 currently.
This commit brings Cobra to its latest available version of 0.0.4.
Bringing Cobra up-to-date is essential for upcoming work being
prepared for dynamic bash-completion; there are bug fixes in
Cobra that are necessary for dynamic bash-completion to work
properly. Specifically,
spf13/cobra#730
which fixes
spf13/cobra#694
is essential to avoid the risk of colliding and possibly
breaking kubectl dynamic bash-completion once helm v3 has its
own dynamic completion.

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.
