Assigning Template Variables
Capturing values to reuse across a block.
Why Variables Help
When the same value appears many times in a template, capture it once in a variable so you do not repeat the long path everywhere.
The Assignment Syntax
You declare a variable with a dollar name and the colon-equals operator. In Helm, $name holds whatever expression sits on the right.
