HeroHub

Build your GitHub commits on Heroku automatically.

Note: Only public repositories are supported as of now.

Current Status

Everthing works. Need to look for leaks.

Setting Up

Note: You need to have node and heroku toolbelt installed.

• Clone this repository.

• Run 'setup', i.e. ./setup.

For each of the repos that you would like to build commits automatically,

• Create a file .deploy in your root folder of your repository. It should contain:

<provider> <app>: branch <branch>
<provider> <app>: hashtag <hashtag>
...

For example:

heroku herohub: branch production
heroku herohub-experimental: hashtag deploy-experimental

In your GitHub repo > Admin > Service Hooks, add a WebHook URL with the url, http://<Your-Deployer-identifier>.heroku.com/deploy/github. <Your-Deployer-identifier> is the name of the deployer app created by setup.

Usage

You can trigger the deployment by either:

• Committing to a branch specified in the .deploy file and then pushing it to GitHub.

• Mentioning a hashtag specified in the .deploy file in the commit description (example: git commit -m "Fixed bugs #301 and #334. #deploy-experimental")and then pushing it to GitHub.

Note: One Deployer can be used for any number of apps within the same heroku account.
