How Helm Finds Your Cluster via kubeconfig
The same context kubectl uses, reused by Helm.
Helm Borrows kubectl's Config
Helm does not invent its own cluster connection. It reuses the exact same kubeconfig that kubectl already uses, so if kubectl works, Helm works.
Where kubeconfig Lives
By default your config sits at ~/.kube/config. It holds cluster endpoints, user credentials, and the contexts that pair them together.
