 ## Chart Dependencies

-dependencies are expressed explicitly by copying the dependency charts
-into the `charts/` directory.
+In Helm, one chart may depend on any number of other charts. 
+These dependencies can be dynamically linked through the `requirements.yaml`
+file or brought in to the `charts/` directory and managed manually. 
 
-A dependency can be either a chart archive (`foo-1.2.3.tgz`) or an
-unpacked chart directory. But its name cannot start with `_` or `.`.
-Such files are ignored by the chart loader.
+Although manually managing your dependencies has a few advantages some teams need,
+the preferred method of declaring dependencies is by using a
+`requirements.yaml` file inside of your chart.
 
 **Note:** The `dependencies:` section of the `Chart.yaml` from Helm
 Classic has been completely removed.
 
-For example, if the WordPress chart depends on the Apache chart, the
-Apache chart (of the correct version) is supplied in the WordPress
-chart's `charts/` directory:
-
-```
-wordpress:
-  Chart.yaml
-  requirements.yaml
-  # ...
-  charts/
-    apache/
-      Chart.yaml
-      # ...
-    mysql/
-      Chart.yaml
-      # ...
-```

-The example above shows how the WordPress chart expresses its dependency
-on Apache and MySQL by including those charts inside of its `charts/`
-directory.
-
-**TIP:** _To drop a dependency into your `charts/` directory, use the
-`helm fetch` command or use a `requirements.yaml` file_

 A `requirements.yaml` file is a simple file for listing your
