helm charts from private repository

[kokoska69]

When i use tanka in CI i want to get helm charts also from private repository.
For that i used direct helm pull and then updated the rest of public charts with tk tool charts vendor.
I want to get rid of the individual pulls and use something like helm repo login.
How can I do that?

I have same issue with my private repository that requires a username/password, only option is to use helm pull with the credentials directly under the charts directory,
To avoid this and use tk tool, may require adding arguments to "tk tool charts add" to pass a username/password

In the end I templated the chartfile with jsonnet to include user/pass.

  "directory": "charts",
  "repositories": [
    {
      "name": "oauth2-proxy",
      "url": "https://oauth2-proxy.github.io/manifests"
    },
    {
      "name": "ingress-nginx",
      "url": "https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx"
    },
    {
      "name": "jetstack",
      "url": "https://charts.jetstack.io"
    },
    {
      "name": "helm",
      "url": "https://.../n/helm",
      "username": std.extVar('USERNAME'),
      "password": std.extVar('PASSWORD')
    },...

that is awesome, I did not know this was supported by tanka, I will try it out - thanks for the info

Just verified that it is working, perhaps this shoudl be added to documentation and issue should be closed?
