Overview

This node operation retrieves the Helm chart index YAML file for a specific project and Helm channel from the GitLab API. It is useful for users who want to programmatically access Helm package information stored in GitLab projects, such as for automation in CI/CD pipelines or Helm chart management.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetching the Helm chart index.yaml for a project to list available Helm charts in a specific channel (e.g., stable).
  2. Automating the retrieval of Helm package metadata for deployment or auditing purposes.
