+# Syncing Your Chart Repository
+*Note: This example is specifically for a Google Cloud Storage (GCS) bucket which serves a chart repository.*
+
+## Prerequisites
+* Install the [gsutil](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil) tool. *We rely heavily on the gsutil rsync functionality*
+* Be sure to have access to the helm binary
+* _Optional: We recommend you set [object versioning](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil/addlhelp/ObjectVersioningandConcurrencyControl#top_of_page) on your GCS bucket in case you accidentally delete something._
+
+## Set up a local chart repository directory
+Create a local directory like we did in [the chart repository guide](chart_repository.md), and place your packaged charts in that directory.
+
+For example:
+```console
+$ mkdir fantastic-charts
+$ mv alpine-0.1.0.tgz fantastic-charts/
+```
+
+## Generate an updated index.yaml
+Use helm to generate an updated index.yaml file by passing in the directory path and the url of the remote repository to the `helm repo index` command like this:
+
+```console
+$ helm repo index fantastic-charts/ http://storage.googleapis.com/fantastic-charts
+```
+This will generate an updated index.yaml file and place in the `fantastic-charts/` directory.
+
+## Sync your local and remote chart repositories
+Upload the contents of the directory to your GCS bucket by running `scripts/sync-repo.sh` and pass in the local directory name and the GCS bucket name.
+
+For example:
+```console
+$ pwd
+/Users/funuser/go/src/github.com/kubernetes/helm
+$ scripts/sync-repo.sh fantastic-charts/ fantastic-charts
+Getting ready to sync your local directory (fantastic-charts/) to a remote repository at gs://fantastic-charts

+Congratulations your remote chart repository now matches the contents of fantastic-charts/
+```
+## Updating your chart repository
+You'll want to keep a local copy of the contents of your chart repository or use `gsutil rsync` to copy the contents of your remote chart repository to a local directory.
+
+For example:
+```console
+$ gsutil rsync -d -n gs://bucket-name local-dir/    # the -n flag does a dry run
+Building synchronization state...
+Starting synchronization
+Would copy gs://bucket-name/alpine-0.1.0.tgz to file://local-dir/alpine-0.1.0.tgz
+Would copy gs://bucket-name/index.yaml to file://local-dir/index.yaml
+
+$ gsutil rsync -d gs://bucket-name local-dir/       # performs the copy actions
+Building synchronization state...
+Starting synchronization
+Copying gs://bucket-name/alpine-0.1.0.tgz...

+Downloading file://local-dir/index.yaml:                              346 B/346 B
