To pick up on @AshvjitSingh point again, I have had good experience with helm-push. This is a tool that packages your chart directly and pushes it to your saved remote repository.

Also have to note again that helm dependency update is used to manage dependencies for local Helm charts. It updates the charts/ directory based on the Chart.yaml file, ensuring that all required charts are present and at the correct versions. This command downloads the dependencies, updates them as needed, and generates a Chart.lock file to record exact versions.

I have encountred the same error message when I first started learning how to use libcharts, I used chart.yaml to specify the dependency of the libchart like so:

chart.yaml

...
dependencies:
  - name: mylibchart
    version: 0.1.0
    repository: file://path/to/libchart

and in that libchart chart.yaml data was like this:

apiVersion: v2
name: lib <-- this was causing the error to occur (should be mylibchart instead)
description: A Helm chart for Kubernetes
type: library
version: 0.1.0
appVersion: "1.16.0"

so as you can see the name specified in the dependencies has to be the same name of the chart/libchart.

You don't have to add it to the control version system, you just download them again if for some reason you have lost them (for example when you clone the repository). To do this, execute the command:

helm dependency update

The above command will download the dependencies you've defined in the requirements.yaml file or dependencies entry in Chart.yaml to the charts folder. This way, requirements are updated and you'll have the correct dependencies without worrying about if you updated them also in the control version system.

I updated .helmignore

# Patterns to ignore when building packages.
# This supports shell glob matching, relative path matching, and
# negation (prefixed with !). Only one pattern per line.
.DS_Store
# Common VCS dirs
.git/
.gitignore
.bzr/
.bzrignore
.hg/
.hgignore
.svn/
# Common backup files
*.swp
*.bak
*.tmp
*~
# Various IDEs
.project
.idea/
*.tmproj
.vscode/
charts/

It contained charts/ I removed the entry and it worked
