Helm - Can't install dependencies from private Github repository - kubernetes-helm

Question

I'm trying to install packages from a private repository I've deployed using chart-releases, but I'm not being able to do it.
Here is what I've done:
I've created a new private repository, added a sample chart to it and ran the following commands:
helm package charts/* --destination .deploy
cr upload -o odelucca -r helm-charts -p .deploy -t $MY_TOKEN
I've created the index.yaml with the following command:
cr index --config .cr.yaml -t $MY_TOKEN
# My .cr.yaml file:
# owner: odelucca
# git-repo: helm-charts
# package-path: .deploy
# index-path: index.yaml
# charts-repo: https://github.com/odelucca/helm-charts/
I've commit the index.yaml to the repo
I've added the remote helm repo with the following command:
helm repo add helm-charts https://raw.githubusercontent.com/odelucca/helm-charts/master --username $MY_EMAIL --password $MY_TOKEN
The repo was added, then I've added the following dependency to a local chart:
dependencies:
- name: serverless-common
version: 1.0.0
repository: "#helm-charts"
Now, I've tried to run the following:
helm dep update
I get the following errors:
Hang tight while we grab the latest from your chart repositories...
...Unable to get an update from the "local" chart repository (http://127.0.0.1:8879/charts):

Anyone can help me? I've tried a lot of different approaches, and none of them fix it

Have you tried editing the repository config file?
You should have something like this:
vim ${HOEM}/.config/helm/repositories.yaml
apiVersion: ""
generated: "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z"
repositories:
- caFile: ""
certFile: ""
insecure_skip_tls_verify: false
keyFile: ""
name: helm-charts
password: ""
url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/odelucca/helm-charts/master"
username: ""
Edit it and put your username and password to connect to your private registry.
For me, this works fine.
Maybe you also need to check your repo path.
You should be able to download with an URL like this:
${repository}/${name}-${version}.tgz
