helm-install: Perform a dry run.

helm

$ helm install ${name} ${repository_name}/${chart_name} --dry-run

try on your machine

The command "helm install ${name}" is used to install a Helm chart onto a Kubernetes cluster. Here's a breakdown of the command:

${name}: This is a placeholder that represents the name you want to give to the release (i.e., the instance of the chart running on your cluster). You can replace it with a meaningful name of your choice.
${repository_name}/${chart_name}: This specifies the repository and chart to be installed. It should be in the format "repository_name/chart_name". Replace ${repository_name} with the name or URL of the repository where the chart is located, and ${chart_name} with the name of the chart.
--dry-run: This flag is used to simulate the installation without actually deploying anything on the cluster. It allows you to see what changes would be made if the installation were performed for real. It can be helpful for verifying the correctness of the chart before deploying it.

The command in question is essentially simulating the installation of a Helm chart named ${chart_name} from the repository ${repository_name} using the Helm release name ${name}. No changes will actually be made to the cluster, as it is a dry run.
