# Which directory does Kustomize use as the chart home for helmCharts when helmGlobals.chartHome isn't set?

Kustomize, Easy (Beginner), Integration. https://k8wiz.com/uquiz/which-directory-does-kustomize-use-as-the-chart-home-for-helmcharts-when-helmglobalscharthome-isnt-set

- A. charts
- B. helm
- C. .helm
- D. vendor

**Answer:** charts

**Explanation:** The default chart home is charts, relative to the kustomization that declares the chart. When an entry sets both repo and version, the chart is pulled into a versioned subdirectory such as charts/podinfo-6.17.0. If the chart is already there, Kustomize uses it without contacting the repository.
