A Helm plugin for recursive dependency management across all subcharts.
I needed a way to manage dependencies across multiple subcharts in a large Helm chart. Helm's built-in dependency management only handles dependencies for a single chart, requiring manual updates for each subchart. This becomes tedious and error-prone with complex chart hierarchies. Cascade automates dependency management by recursively processing the entire chart tree in one command.
helm plugin install https://github.com/origranot/helm-cascadehelm cascade list <chart-dir>Example output:
├── parent-chart
│ subchart-a 1.0.0 repo/subchart-a unpacked
│ subchart-b 2.0.0 repo/subchart-b unpacked
│ ├── subchart-a
│ │ dependency-x 1.2.0 repo/dep-x missing # This would never been shown by helm dependency listhelm cascade build <chart-dir>helm cascade update <chart-dir> # or helm cascade uphelm cascade lint <chart-dir>
