Discussion: GitHub Repo • We are now using a independent GitHub Repo to host Helm Repo China • Chinese developer will contribute their charts (maybe in Chinese) in to this GitHub Repo • Is this a concern for Helm community? Like, fragmentation? • We are fully open to merge our GitHub Repo with Helm Charts repo, or host/contribute this repo to Helm Github org
