Those variables may be freely used in downstream jobs (for instance to run acceptance tests against the latest deployed environment).
### Working with repositories & OCI-based registries
The Helm template supports indifferently the use of [chart repositories](https://helm.sh/docs/topics/chart_repository/) and [OCI-based registries](https://helm.sh/docs/topics/registries/)(requires Helm 3 or above).
Those can be used both for pulling and/or pushing charts.
#### Configuring pull repositories
The pulling repositories/registries can be configured with the `$HELM_REPOS`.
The value is expected as a (whitespace-separated) list of `repo_name@repo_url` (defaults to `stable@https://charts.helm.sh/stable bitnami@https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami`).
:warning: When using OCI-based registries, simply prefix the url with `oci://`.
The Helm template also supports user/password authentication for each, simply by defining `HELM_REPO_<NAME>_USER` and `HELM_REPO_<NAME>_PASSWORD` (as project or group secret variables).
:warning: The `<NAME>` part is the `repo_name` transformed in [SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_case)(uppercase words separated by underscores).
Example: declare the GitLab chart repository from another GitLab project
# HELM_REPO_OTHER_PROJ_PASSWORD set as a project secret variables
```
#### Configuring the push repository
All configuration parameters are extensively documented in the [`helm-publish` job](#helm-publish-job) chapter.
