Install

Using Helm plugin manager (> 2.3.x)

helm plugin install https://github.com/databus23/helm-diff

Pre Helm 2.3.0 Installation

Pick a release tarball from the releases page.

Unpack the tarball in your helm plugins directory ($(helm home)/plugins).

E.g.

curl -L $TARBALL_URL | tar -C $(helm home)/plugins -xzv

Build

Clone the repository into your $GOPATH and then build it.

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/databus23/
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/databus23/
$ git clone https://github.com/databus23/helm-diff.git
$ cd helm-diff
$ make install
