    • Provides clear visualization of manifest differences before applying changes, reducing deployment risks and unexpected outcomes.
    • Use for previewing changes before upgrading Helm charts to avoid unintended Kubernetes resource modifications.
    • Use for comparing different deployed release versions to audit or troubleshoot configuration changes over time.
    • Use for forecasting the impact of rolling back to a previous Helm release revision to ensure safe rollbacks.

    From the README

    This is a Helm plugin giving you a preview of what a helm upgrade would change. It basically generates a diff between the latest deployed version of a release and a helm upgrade --debug --dry-run. This can also be used to compare two revisions/versions of your helm release.
