It uses kustomize and helm command-line tools to build and inspect cluster objects from a local git repository, enabling developers to test configuration changes, validate manifests, and review diffs before committing or opening pull requests.\n\nThe package provides four main CLI commands: `get` to list Kustomizations and HelmReleases, `build` to render manifests, `diff` to compare local changes against prior revisions, and `test` to verify resources format correctly. It requires Python 3.13 or later and depends on GitPython, PyYAML, aiofiles, mashumaro, nest-asyncio, oras, pytest, pytest-asyncio, and python-slugify. The project is no longer actively maintained; the maintainers recommend migrating to flate or konflate instead.","worth_installing":"No. The package is explicitly deprecated and sunsetted by its maintainers, who recommend migrating to flate (an offline validator written in Go) or konflate (a pull request review tool). While it has low install friction and no known security vulnerabilities, choosing a deprecated tool over actively maintained alternatives introduces maintenance and support risk. Install only if you are maintaining existing flux-local code and cannot migrate immediately."},"id":"flux-local","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flux-local","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flux-local.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flux-local/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-02","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"flux-local","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"[DEPRECATED] flux-local is a set of tools and libraries for managing a local flux gitops repository focused on validation steps to help improve quality of commits, PRs, and general local testing."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":143226,"position":11182,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"8.4.0"}
