Auto-trigger docker build for kubernetes helm when new release is announced
NOTES
The latest docker tag is the latest release verison (https://github.com/helm/helm/releases/latest)
Please avoid to use latest tag for any production deployment. Tag with right version is the proper way, such as alpine/helm:2.14.0

# run container as command
alias helm="docker run -ti --rm -v $(pwd):/apps -v ~/.kube:/root/.kube -v ~/.helm:/root/.helm alpine/helm"

alias helm='docker run -e KUBECONFIG="/root/.kube/config:/root/.kube/some-other-context.yaml" -ti --rm -v $(pwd):/apps -v ~/.kube:/root/.kube -v ~/.helm:/root/.helm alpine/helm'
Why we need it
Mostly it is used during CI/CD (continuous integration and continuous delivery) or as part of an automated build/deployment
