So the whole child pipeline will considered as the stage and it will re-run the entire child pipeline. + +#### Which encoding in the copy command step in Harness? + +Harness uses UTF-8 encoding in the copy config command step. + +#### How long are deployment instances tracked in dashboard? + +On the dashboard is limited to active instances from the past 30 days. + +#### Can user use the `\*.tgz` file to do the helm template cli? + +If your tar file is also getting cloned you can uncompress it using service hook and then use it in the helm template.
