Files, Template, and the Root Context

Accessing bundled files and the dot scope.

The Root Context: The Dot

At the top of a template, the dot . is the root context holding every built-in object: .Values, .Release, .Chart, and more.

Dot Can Change Scope

Blocks like with and range rebind the dot to a narrower value. So . does not always mean the root inside every block.
