helm install helm-chart command not working

After successfully running the command
./helm-dep-up-umbrella.sh helm-chart, when then attempt to execute the command, helm install helm-chart, I receive an error: "Error: must either provide a name or specify --generate-name.

Can you provide any guidance for how to properly execute this command?

Thank you!

Merge strategy not working for booleans

I really like your approach, thanks for sharing.

At first everything seemed to work.
However, I've found a problem with merging booleans.

See this truth table:

case	common	specialized	result	correct?
1	false	true	true	yes
2	true	true	true	yes
3	false	false	false	yes
4	true	false	true	no

Case no. 4 is incorrect.
It seems like the merge function uses or semantics.
However, the correct behaviour for our use case would be: Specialized value always wins.

Does anyone know how we could make this work?

Dry on Dry

I've noticed that in some use cases the following code will be used in multiple files:

{{- $common := dict "Values" .Values.common -}} 
{{- $noCommon := omit .Values "common" -}} 
{{- $overrides := dict "Values" $noCommon -}} 
{{- $noValues := omit . "Values" -}} 
{{- with merge $noValues $overrides $common -}}

In your git repo I can see it in _deployment and almost the same in _ingress

Is it possible to move it to the _helpers.tpl file and reuse it?

Tried doing it using files without any success.
