-## The History of the Project
-
-Kubernetes Helm is the merged result of [Helm
-Classic](https://github.com/helm/helm) and the Kubernetes port of GCS Deployment
-Manager. The project was jointly started by Google and Deis, though it
-is now part of the CNCF.
-
-Differences from Helm Classic:
-
-- Helm now has both a client (`helm`) and a server (`tiller`). The
-  server runs inside of Kubernetes, and manages your resources.
-- Helm's chart format has changed for the better:
-  - Dependencies are immutable and stored inside of a chart's `charts/`
-    directory.
-  - Charts are strongly versioned using [SemVer 2](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html)
-  - Charts can be loaded from directories or from chart archive files
-  - Helm supports Go templates without requiring you to run `generate`
-    or `template` commands.
-  - Helm makes it easy to configure your releases -- and share the
-    configuration with the rest of your team.
-- Helm chart repositories now use plain HTTP instead of Git/GitHub.
-  There is no longer any GitHub dependency.
-  - A chart server is a simple HTTP server
-  - Charts are referenced by version
-  - The `helm serve` command will run a local chart server, though you
-    can easily use object storage (S3, GCS) or a regular web server.
-  - And you can still load charts from a local directory.
-- The Helm workspace is gone. You can now work anywhere on your
-  filesystem that you want to work.
