## tk create source helm

Create or update a HelmRepository source

### Synopsis


The create source helm command generates a HelmRepository resource and waits for it to fetch the index.
For private Helm repositories, the basic authentication credentials are stored in a Kubernetes secret.

```
tk create source helm [name] [flags]
```

### Examples

  # Create a source from a public Helm repository
  tk create source helm podinfo \
    --url=https://stefanprodan.github.io/podinfo \

  # Create a source from a Helm repository using basic authentication
  tk create source helm podinfo \
    --url=https://stefanprodan.github.io/podinfo \
    --username=username \
    --password=password

  # Create a source from a Helm repository using TLS authentication

    --url=https://stefanprodan.github.io/podinfo \
