A Go CLI tool (`ct`) for linting and testing Helm charts, automatically detecting charts changed against a target branch. It is designed for validating chart pull requests in CI pipelines and ships as a Docker image with all dependencies included.

Use cases

• lint helm charts in ci
• test only charts changed in a pull request
• validate chart yaml with yamllint and yamale
• install charts on a kubernetes cluster to verify they work
• set up automated chart repository testing with github actions

When to choose

• you maintain a helm chart repository and need automated PR validation
• you want to lint and install-test charts in CI with change detection
• you need a self-contained toolchain via the provided docker image

When to avoid

• you need general kubernetes manifest testing rather than helm charts
• you want a GUI or long-running service rather than a CLI
• your charts are not managed in git with branch-based workflows
