# Upgrade the Helm chart

Use the following instructions to upgrade the chart to a new release.

1. Use the following command to obtain the release name for the earlier release.

   ```
   $ helm ls -n <namespace>
   ```
2. Retrieve the values for the earlier release.

   ```
   $ helm get values my-release > old_values.yaml
   ```
3. Change the values of the `old\_values.yaml` file as required.
4. Use the `helm upgrade` command to update the chart for your `override-demo.yaml` file or `override-prod.yaml` file.

   ```
   $ helm upgrade my-release harness/harness -n <namespace> -f override-demo.yaml -f old_values.yaml
   ```

   ```
   $ helm upgrade my-release harness/harness -n <namespace> -f override-prod.yaml -f old_values.yaml
   ```
