Helm Release Action

This GitHub action allows you to package and push Helm charts to a OCI compatible repository (for example, Harbor).

Note that this action uses a Helm 3 client and Chart Museum is not supported anymore.

Implementation Note

The repository of this action does not contain the actual implementation code. Instead, it's referring to a pre-build image in its Dockerfile in order to save resources and speed up workflow runs.
