+description: A Helm chart for deploying the generic-device-plugin on Kubernetes
+
+# A chart can be either an 'application' or a 'library' chart.
+#
+# Application charts are a collection of templates that can be packaged into versioned archives
+# to be deployed.
+#
+# Library charts provide useful utilities or functions for the chart developer. They're included as
+# a dependency of application charts to inject those utilities and functions into the rendering
+# pipeline. Library charts do not define any templates and therefore cannot be deployed.
+type: application
+
+# This is the chart version. This version number should be incremented each time you make changes
+# to the chart and its templates, including the app version.
+# Versions are expected to follow Semantic Versioning (https://semver.org/)
+version: 0.1.0
+
+# This is the version number of the application being deployed. This version number should be
+# incremented each time you make changes to the application. Versions are not expected to
+# follow Semantic Versioning. They should reflect the version the application is using.
+# It is recommended to use it with quotes.
+appVersion: "0.1.0"

+A Helm chart for deploying the generic-device-plugin on Kubernetes.
+
+## Tips
+
+Ensure that this is deployed into the `kube-system` namespace.
+
+### Installing directly from the git repo
+
+```bash
+# clone the repo
+git clone https://github.com/squat/generic-device-plugin
+
+# change to the chart directory
+cd charts/generic-device-plugin
+
+# install the helm chart in the kube-system namespace
+helm install -n kube-system generic-device-plugin .
+```
