+A tool to take a deployed set of kubernetes resources and turn them into a helm release.
+
+Only works with helm3 > 3.2.0
+
+Only compiles with Go < 1.15
+
+And it's a pain to cross-compile, and my ci is currently broken
+
+You can add jq commands to tweak the generation.
+
+You run it from the chart folder (the one with `Chart.yaml`) in it
+
+It's fairly opinionated but that can be turned off.
+
+There's some kinda hacky stuff in the code related to json->yaml->helm stuff.
+
+so... erm here's a docker command that worked for me :
+
+```
+docker run -v $(pwd):/context -v $HOME/.kube:/root/.kube --rm -it -w /context/ imartyn/helm-import /helm-import -namespace some-namespace -deployment some-deployment
+```
+
+and here's the help screen :
+```

+- [ ] make ci work again
+- [ ] cross-compile, now I know it was a go-1.15 issue first time
