Support single yaml files?

[GoldenMouse]

Maybe a silly request but can helmfile support applying just a single manifest file? Sometime we have some extraneous set of yamls that isn't in a chart yet such as CRDs.

It is supported if you create a folder for that manifest and then reference it as a chart. See here for more details #673

Sweet thank you!

This does not work using fetch. Is this intended behavior?

Take a simple example:
helmfile.d
|_test.yaml
manifests
|_noops.yaml

with test.yaml containing:

releases:
  - name: manifests
    chart: "../manifests"

and noops.yaml containing:

kind: ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: test-noop-only
data:
  NOOP: |

docker run --rm --net=host -v "${HOME}/.kube:/helm/.kube" -v "${HOME}/.config/helm:/helm/.config/helm" -v "${PWD}:/wd" --workdir /wd ghcr.io/helmfile/helmfile:v1.0.0-rc.4 helmfile fetch

:v1.0.0-rc.4 helmfile fetch

There is no error when adding --skip-deps.

fetch seems to skip the chart preparation
