helm plugin verify

verify that a plugin at the given path has been signed and is valid

Synopsis

This command verifies that a Helm plugin has a valid provenance file, and that the provenance file is signed by a trusted PGP key.

It supports both:

  • Plugin tarballs (.tgz or .tar.gz files)
  • Installed plugin directories

For installed plugins, use the path shown by 'helm env HELM_PLUGINS' followed by the plugin name. For example: helm plugin verify ~/.local/share/helm/plugins/example-cli

To generate a signed plugin, use the 'helm plugin package --sign' command.
