This is a sample for how to setup a helm repo in github without gh-pages. This is usable even for private repositories.
$ helm dependency update $YOUR_CHART_PATH/ # build the dependency tgz file
$ helm dependency build $YOUR_CHART_PATH/ # build the dependency tgz file
$ helm package $YOUR_CHART_PATH/ # build the tgz file and copy it here
$ helm repo index . # create or update the index.yaml for repo
$ git add .
$ git commit -m 'New chart version'
You might know github has a raw view. So simply use the following:
$ helm repo add hardyscc 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hardyscc/charts/master/'
$ helm repo update
$ helm search auto-deploy-app
NAME CHART VERSION APP VERSION DESCRIPTION
hardyscc/auto-deploy-app 0.0.1 GitLab's Auto-deploy Helm Chart (arm32v7)
If your repo is private you can create a "Personal access tokens" and use it like:
$ helm repo add sample 'https://[email protected]/kmzfs/helm-repo-in-github/master/'
Note: Becareful who is creating the token and what is its level of access.
