Deploy helm chart from remote repository

Question

Is it possible to run a deployment job that downloads helm chart from bitbucket repository and applies the helm chart into kubernetes:

pipeline {
    agent  any
    stages {
        stage('test') {
            steps {
    
                 script {
                    withKubeConfig([credentialsId: 'my_kubeconfig']) {
                        sh '''
                        helm upgrade --install // download and install helm chart here                           
             
                        '''
                    }
                 }
                
            }
        }
    } //
}

If possible I want first to download the helm chart from bitbucket repository and then using kubernetes service account to apply the chart.

Yes you are right first need to clone the Helm template repo build the files

You can review this file although i am not using Helm but mostly steps are similar might need to do last step tweaks : https://github.com/harsh4870/node-js-aws-codebuild-basic-ci-cd/blob/main/Jenkinsfile
