Step 2: Create a Helm Chart

2. Modify the my-chart directory to fit your application needs.

Step 3: Package the Helm Chart

    helm package my-chart
   

   This will create a file like my-chart-0.1.0.tgz.

Step 4: Create an index.yaml File

    helm repo index .
   

Step 5: Commit and Push

    git add .
   

2. Commit the files.

    git commit -m "Initial Helm Chart Repository"
   

3. Push the changes to GitHub.
