The `.helmignore` file is used to specify files you don't want to include in your helm chart.
If this file exists, the `helm package` command will ignore all the files that match the pattern specified in the `.helmignore` file while packaging your application.
This can help in avoiding unncessary or sensitive files or directories from being added in your helm chart.
The `.helmignore` file supports Unix shell glob matching, relative path matching, and negation (prefixed with !). Only one pattern per line is considered.
Here is an example `.helmignore` file:
```
# comment
.git
*/temp*
*/*/temp*
temp?
```

## 5. Iterate on Successive Release Candidates
Spend several days explicitly investing time and resources to try and break helm in every possible way, documenting any findings pertinent to the release. This time should be spent testing and finding ways in which the release might have caused various features or upgrade environments to have issues, not coding. During this time, the release is in code freeze, and any additional code changes will be pushed out to the next release.

The frequency of new candidates is up to the release manager: use your best judgement taking into account the severity of reported issues, testers' availability, and the release deadline date.
