The `helm list` (or `helm ls`) function will show you a list of all deployed releases.
The `helm list` (or `helm ls`) command shows all of your deployed releases. The `SOURCE` column tells you where each chart came from. Helm records this location in the `meta.helm.sh/release-source` annotation when you install or upgrade a release. The value is the chart reference you supplied, or the repository URL when you install with `--repo`.

PR #32250 adds the SOURCE column to helm list table/JSON/YAML output in pkg/cmd/list.go, and sets the meta.helm.sh/release-source annotation in pkg/cmd/install.go and pkg/cmd/upgrade.go to the chart ref (or the --repo URL when provided). This is the basis for the new SOURCE column and explanatory paragraph.
