Lint and validate a chart
Run 'helm lint', version checking, YAML schema validation on 'Chart.yaml', YAML linting on 'Chart.yaml' and 'values.yaml', and maintainer validation on
- changed charts (default)
- specific charts (--charts)
- all charts (--all)
in given chart directories.
Charts may have multiple custom values files matching the glob pattern '*-values.yaml' in a directory named 'ci' in the root of the chart's directory. The chart is linted for each of these files. If no custom values file is present, the chart is linted with defaults.
ct lint [flags]
--additional-commands strings Additional commands to run per chart (default: [])

Example: "helm unittest --helm3 -f tests/*.yaml {{ .Path }}"
--all Process all charts except those explicitly excluded.
Disables changed charts detection and version increment checking
--chart-dirs strings Directories containing Helm charts. May be specified multiple times
or separate values with commas (default [charts])

Repositories should be formatted as 'name=url' (ex: local=http://127.0.0.1:8879/charts).
May be specified multiple times or separate values with commas

--exclude-deprecated Skip charts that are marked as deprecated
--excluded-charts strings Charts that should be skipped. May be specified multiple times
or separate values with commas
--github-groups Change the delimiters for github to create collapsible groups

--helm-dependency-extra-args strings Additional arguments for 'helm dependency build' (e.g. ["--skip-refresh"]
--helm-extra-args string Additional arguments for Helm. Must be passed as a single quoted string

-h, --help help for lint
--lint-conf string The config file for YAML linting. If not specified, 'lintconf.yaml'

--remote string The name of the Git remote used to identify changed charts (default "origin")
--since string The Git reference used to identify changed charts (default "HEAD")
--target-branch string The name of the target branch used to identify changed charts (default "main")
--use-helmignore Use .helmignore when identifying changed charts
--validate-chart-schema Enable schema validation of 'Chart.yaml' using Yamale (default true)
