## helm package

package a chart directory into a chart archive

### Synopsis


This command packages a chart into a versioned chart archive file. If a path
is given, this will look at that path for a chart (which must contain a
Chart.yaml file) and then package that directory.

If no path is given, this will look in the present working directory for a
Chart.yaml file, and (if found) build the current directory into a chart.

Versioned chart archives are used by Helm package repositories.


```
helm package [flags] [CHART_PATH] [...]
