Downloading mysql from repo <our private repository>
Deleting outdated charts

helm dependency update
The above command will download the dependencies you've defined in the requirements.yaml file or dependencies entry in Chart.yaml to the charts folder. This way, requirements are updated and you'll have the correct dependencies without worrying about if you updated them also in the control version system.
