+## Helm Chart
+Helm chart releases are managed by a separate set of git tags that are prefixed with `chart-*`. Example git tag name is `chart-0.18.0`. Released versions of the
+helm charts are stored in the `gh-pages` branch of this repo. The [chart-releaser-action GitHub Action](https://github.com/helm/chart-releaser-action) is setup to
+build and push the helm charts to the `gh-pages` branch when a `chart-*` git tag is created.
+
+The major and minor version of the chart matches the descheduler major and minor versions. For example descheduler helm chart version chart-0.18.0 corresponds
+to descheduler version v0.18.0. The patch version of the descheduler helm chart and the patcher version of the descheduler will not necessarily match. The patch
+version of the descheduler helm chart is used to version changes specific to the helm chart.
+
+1. Merge all helm chart changes into the appropriate release branch(i.e. release-1.18)
+   1. Ensure that `appVersion` in file `charts/descheduler/Chart.yaml` matches the descheduler version(no `v` prefix)
+   2. Ensure that `version` in file `charts/descheduler/Chart.yaml` has been incremented. This is the chart version.
+2. Make sure your repo is clean by git's standards
+3. Create the tag and push it `git checkout release-1.18; CHART_VERSION=chart-0.18.0; git tag $CHART_VERSION; git push origin $CHART_VERSION`
+4. Verify the new helm artifact has been successfully pushed to the `gh-pages` branch
