Helmify is a Go CLI tool that converts Kubernetes YAML manifests into Helm charts. It reads Kubernetes objects from stdin or the filesystem and generates a templated Helm chart directory, with special integration for Operator-SDK and Kubebuilder projects.

Use cases

• convert kubernetes yaml manifests to a helm chart
• generate helm chart from kustomize output
• add helm chart generation to my operator-sdk project
• turn a deployment yaml into a helm chart
• package kubernetes manifests as helm chart
• create helm chart from multiple yaml files in a directory
• helmify my kubebuilder operator

When to choose

• you have raw Kubernetes YAML manifests and want a maintainable Helm chart without hand-templating
• you develop operators with Operator-SDK or Kubebuilder and want Helm chart packaging in your Makefile
• you want to convert kustomize output into a distributable Helm chart

When to avoid

• you already maintain hand-crafted Helm charts with complex templating logic
• you need a general-purpose YAML templating or manifest validation tool rather than chart generation
• you use Helm versions older than 3.6.0
