What helm list Shows
The helm list command shows every release Helm is currently tracking in your namespace, so you always know what is deployed. 📋
helm listOne Row per Release
Each line in the output is one release: an installed instance of a chart, with its own name and revision.
The Columns You Get
Default columns include NAME, NAMESPACE, REVISION, STATUS, CHART, and APP VERSION, summarizing each release at a glance.
Namespace Scoping
By default helm list only shows releases in your current namespace, just like kubectl scopes to one namespace.
Pick a Namespace
Add --namespace (or -n) to list releases in a specific namespace instead of your current one.
helm list --namespace prodList Every Namespace
The --all-namespaces flag (or -A) shows releases across the whole cluster in a single table.
helm list --all-namespacesShow More Than Deployed
By default only deployed releases appear. The --all flag also reveals failed, pending, and uninstalling ones.
helm list --allFilter by Status
Use --failed or --deployed to show only releases in that state, handy for spotting trouble quickly.
helm list --failedFilter by Name
The --filter flag takes a regular expression matched against release names to narrow a long list.
helm list --filter 'nginx.*'Machine-Readable Output
Add --output json or -o yaml when you want to pipe the release list into scripts or other tools.
helm list -o jsonA Quick Synonym
You can type helm ls as a short alias for helm list when you want to check things fast.
helm ls -AQuick Check
Let us confirm how to see releases everywhere.
Recap
helm list shows your releases per namespace; use -A for all, --all for every state, and --filter to narrow by name. ✅
