# Paths Overivew
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Using manifest files in conjunction with command line argument can be a bit confusing.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A few rules to clear up this ambiguity:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Absolute paths are always resolved as absolute paths
 | 
						|
- Relative paths referenced *in* the helmfile manifest itself are relative to that manifest
 | 
						|
- Relative paths referenced on the command line are relative to the current working directory the user is in
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Examples
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are several examples that we can go through in the [`/examples`](examples) folder which demonstrate this.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Local Execution**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is an example of a Helmfile manifest referencing a local value directly.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Indirect:
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
helmfile -f examples/deployments/local/charts.yaml sync
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Direct:
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
cd examples/deployments/local/
 | 
						|
helmfile sync
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Relative Paths in Helmfile**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is an example of a Helmfile manifest using relative paths for values.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Indirect:
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
helmfile -f examples/deployments/dev/charts.yaml sync
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Direct:
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
cd examples/deployments/dev/
 | 
						|
helmfile sync
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Relative Paths in Helmfile w/ --values overrides**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is an example of a Helmfile manifest using relative paths for values including an additional `--values` from the command line.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
NOTE: The `--values` is resolved relative to the CWD of the terminal *not* the Helmfile manifest.  You can see this with the `replicas` being adjusted to 3 now for the deployment.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Indirect:
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
helmfile -f examples/deployments/dev/charts.yaml sync --values values/replica-values.yaml
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Direct:
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
cd examples/deployments/dev/
 | 
						|
helmfile sync --values ../../values/replica-values.yaml
 | 
						|
```
