@oraNod I think it makes sense to use the helm-starter Chart.yaml here as the source of truth for versioning. Annoyingly, the helm init command using a starter does not inherit those version fields, but we could use yq to copy them in from the starter chart.yaml into the main one. Under this system, appVersion would be the version of AWX Operator as the app being installed by the chart, and then version would be our separately maintainable field that we can increment for our other proposals like adding labels, annotations, controller field overrides, etc.

I'm happy to create a PR proposal if that's easier

@miles-w-3 Thanks for this suggestion! It does seem like the right place for a source of truth. I was honestly thinking that the solution I've put together in this PR might be a bit hack-y so I really appreciate you pointing this out and steering towards something less clunky. This could also remove the need to create tags.

I certainly don't mind you creating a PR proposal. I'm happy to do that too but will step back and let you go for it. Cheers.

@oraNod Sorry for the delay, please see #25

This may also be out of scope for this PR, but there's an opportunity for us to do a lot less work around the releases with chart-releaser. We couldn't use it before fully since it was part of the larger repo but it might help, there's a comment on it here:

@miles-w-3 No worries at all about the delay. I was out last week doing family stuff. I'll go ahead and close this PR as your alternative is much better (and less hacky).

That also sounds good about using chart-releaser. Seems like a better way to do things (but, yeah, as a follow on). Thanks for pointing that out!
