helm-docs is a Go CLI tool that automatically generates markdown documentation for Helm charts. It parses chart metadata and values, extracting field descriptions from special comments, and renders them into README files via Go templates.
Use cases
- generate readme documentation for helm charts
- document chart values tables automatically
- extract value descriptions from yaml comments
- keep helm chart docs in sync with values.yaml
- render chart docs from custom gotmpl templates
When to choose
- you maintain helm charts and want auto-generated values documentation
- you want descriptions pulled from `# --` comments in values.yaml
- you need consistent README tables across many charts in CI
When to avoid
- you don't use helm or kubernetes
- you need docs for non-chart yaml files
- you want HTML or non-markdown output
