helm-chart-version-tools

Find and compare Helm chart version drift across directory trees.

Problem

Umbrella or multi-environment Helm layouts often duplicate Chart.yaml under path variants (for example charts/monitoring/alpha/ vs charts/monitoring/beta/). Versions can drift silently. These scripts scan a tree and report mismatches.

Requirements

Python 3.10+
No third-party packages

Scripts

Script	Purpose
`check-helm-chart-versions.py`	Report version drift within one directory tree
`compare-helm-chart-versions.py`	Compare versions between two directory trees

Charts are grouped by parent path; the leaf directory name is treated as the variant label. Use --min-depth if your layout is deeper than the default.

Usage

./check-helm-chart-versions.py /path/to/tree
./compare-helm-chart-versions.py /path/to/tree-a /path/to/tree-b alpha beta

Run --help on either script for examples and options. Exit code is 1 when differences are found, 0 when versions match.

Limits

Reads dependencies[].version or appVersion from Chart.yaml only.
Does not validate semver or contact chart repositories.
Path grouping is structural, not Helm-release aware.
