Question: Do I need local helm charts, and Kubernetes manifests files if they already exists in the remote cluster?

[Mapsfg]

What if I want to use an existing helm chart that consists of a Kubernetes deployment, and service files that already exists in the remote cluster?

Would I still need to create I need to create these local files in order for Devspace dev mode? The only features I'd like to use is the hot file sync reload, and remote debugging.

If you don't specify the deployment section then devspace will not try to deploy anything. All you need is to provide (in the dev section) an image selector or label selector to select the pod to replace with a dev container you can sync your code to.
