helm
Completion plus five short aliases for Helm. Like the kubectl plugins, this is for occasional/work k8s contexts — StumpCloud itself is Compose-only.
| Alias | Runs |
|---|---|
h | helm |
hin | helm install |
hup | helm upgrade |
hun | helm uninstall |
hse | helm search |
Pro tips
- Completion is the real feature. Helm's completion is expensive to
generate, so the plugin caches it in
$ZSH_CACHE_DIR/completions/_helmand regenerates in the background on subsequent shells — full release-name and chart completion with no startup cost. Stale after a helm upgrade? Delete the cache file and open a new shell. hup --install(i.e.helm upgrade --install) is the idempotent deploy — installs if absent, upgrades if present. Worth typing over barehinalmost always.hse repo <term>searches your added repos;hse hub <term>searches Artifact Hub — same alias, very different scope.- Before any
hupon a chart you didn't write,h diff upgrade(if the helm-diff plugin is installed) or at minimumh get values <release>tells you what you're about to clobber. - Context safety applies doubly here: helm acts on whatever kubectl context is
live, so check the kubectx prompt segment before
hun.
