The following example illustrates a helm chart release named hcl-compass1 with revision 1 installed hcl-compass87-0.1.0 for the HCL Compass 2.0.3.01 release and revision 2 upgraded the helm chart hcl-compass89-0.1.0 to the HCL Compass 2.2 release.
    $ helm history hcl-compass --namespace dev

    Rollback was a success! Happy Helming!

    $ helm history hcl-compass --namespace dev
