Publish [Helm](https://helm.sh/) charts for your user or organization.

## Requirements

To work with the Helm Chart registry use a simple HTTP client like `curl` or the [`helm cm-push`](https://github.com/chartmuseum/helm-push/) plugin.

## Publish a package

Publish a package by running the following command:

```shell
curl --user {username}:{password} -X POST --upload-file ./{chart_file}.tgz https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/helm/api/charts
```

or with the `helm cm-push` plugin:

```shell
helm repo add  --username {username} --password {password} {repo} https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/helm
helm cm-push ./{chart_file}.tgz {repo}
```
