Deploy'em is a simple deployment tool for Rails apps that are deployed to Heroku for teams that follow a git-flowish strategy. We say 'git-flowish' because it's not strictly gitflow.
It's basically a collection of Rake tasks.
This gem is based on the idea that you have 2 branches in your git repository and each one of them has a associated Heroku app:
- a
masterbranch that is deployed to a Heroku Production app - a
developbranch that is deployed to a Heroku Staging app
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'deployem'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install deployem
For this gem to work, you'll need to have the following setup
- a
masterbranch in your Git repository - a
developbranch in your Git repository - a heroku app who's remote is named
heroku - a heroku app who's remote is named
heroku-staging
You'll also need to have the Heroku CLI installed if you're going to take advantage of the DB migrations part.
This gem is a collection of rake tasks, so after installing it, simply run the rake tasks:
This task does two things:
- Pushes the latest
developbranch to a Git remote calledheroku-staging - Asks you if you want to run DB migrations
To use it, run:
$ rake deploy:staging
Which will basically run a git push heroku-staging develop:master and then ask you if you want to run DB migrations which will in turn will run heroku run rake db:migrate -r heroku-staging.
This task does two things:
