hull get metadata

hull get metadata prints a release’s high-level metadata only — name, namespace, revision, status, package, info, and labels — without the manifest, values, hooks, or notes.

When to use it

You just need the package version, status, or timestamps for a release.
You want a cheap lookup that skips the large manifest and values payloads.

What happens

It loads the stored release record for <release> (latest, or --revision) and prints only its metadata fields: name, namespace, revision, status, package, info (timestamps and description), and labels. The manifest, values, hooks, and notes are omitted — use get all for those.

Flags

Flag	Cause	Effect
`--revision <n>`	you name a stored revision	reads that revision instead of the latest
`-o, --output <fmt>`	you pass `json` or `yaml` (default `yaml`)	prints in that format

Inherits the global flags (-n/--namespace, --kube-context, --kubeconfig, --debug).

Usage

hull get metadata <release> [flags]

Worked example

Stored record for hello (revision 4). Only the metadata fields matter here:

name: hello
namespace: prod
revision: 4
status: deployed
package:
  name: hello
  version: 1.5.0
info:
  firstDeployed: "2026-06-01T09:00:00Z"
  lastDeployed:  "2026-07-18T14:22:00Z"
labels:
  team: platform
# ...plus manifest, values, hooks, notes (not printed by this command)

Run it:

hull get metadata hello -n prod

Output — metadata only:

info:
  firstDeployed: "2026-06-01T09:00:00Z"
  lastDeployed: "2026-07-18T14:22:00Z"
labels:
  team: platform
name: hello
namespace: prod
package:
  name: hello
  version: 1.5.0
revision: 4
status: deployed

Extract just the package version:

hull get metadata hello -n prod -o json | jq -r '.package.version'

1.5.0
