 `chartify` is intended to be run immediately before running `helm upgrade --install`. For example, instead of forking a helm chart, you should be able to prepend a `chartify` step into your deployment job in your CD pipeline. `chartify` isn't intended to create a fork of a chart. The output of `chartify` is a helm chart that is pre-rendered with all the helm values provided to `chartify`.
