About:
Helm-Docs automatically generates comprehensive markdown documentation for Helm charts by parsing values.yaml files and chart metadata. It extracts default values, descriptions, and types to produce consistent, up-to-date documentation without manual effort. This tool streamlines chart maintenance and improves discoverability for Kubernetes deployments.

Key Features:

Automatic documentation generation from values.yaml
Customizable templates for consistent output
Support for chart dependencies and metadata
CLI tool with simple integration into CI/CD pipelines

Use Cases:

Generating documentation for internal Helm chart repositories
Automating doc updates in CI/CD workflows
Standardizing chart documentation across teams

Alternatives:

helm-readme-generator – Similar functionality but less mature ecosystem
helm-schema – Focuses on JSON schema generation rather than full documentation
