A very simple gem to automate deployment of the current git branch to Heroku, configure DNS, notify PivotalTracker, etc. For more information, see this blog post
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'heroku_feature_deployments', group: :development
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install heroku_feature_deployments
Outside of Rails you must include the rake tasks manually in your Rakefile
load 'tasks/heroku_feature_deployments.rake'
HerokuFeatureDeployments.configure do |config|
# Heroku Configuration
config.heroku_api_key = ENV['HEROKU_API_KEY']
# List of all Heroku addons required
config.addons = [
'memcachier:dev', 'sendgrid:starter', 'redistogo:nano'
]
# These environment variables will be added to heroku
config.env_vars = {
S3_BUCKET_NAME: 'my-bucket',
RACK_ENV: 'staging'
}
# Prefix all heroku app names with this, to avoid name collisions
config.namespace = 'a-namespace'
# Ths name of the heroku account you are using you are using
# (https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-accounts)
config.heroku_account_name = 'account-name'
# The region to deploy the app in (eu/us)
config.region = 'eu'
# An array of collaborator email addresses
config.collaborators = [
'matt@gmail.com', 'another@gmail.com'
]
# DNS configuration
config.dnsimple_username = ENV['DNSIMPLE_USERNAME']
config.dnsimple_api_key = ENV['DNSIMPLE_API_KEY']
# GitHub Configuration
config.github_token = ENV['GITHUB_TOKEN']
# The name of the GitHub repository ('heroku_feature_deployments') for example
config.github_repo = 'github project name'
# Pivotal Tracker Configuration
config.pivotal_tracker_api_key = ENV['PIVOTAL_TRACKER_API_KEY']
config.pivotal_tracker_project_id = ENV['PIVOTAL_TRACKER_PROJECT_ID']
# Other
config.logger = Rails.logger # Defaults to STDOUT
end if defined?(HerokuFeatureDeployments)
First make sure that you are on the branch that you want to deploy
git checkout branch-name
Then deploy it!
rake hfd:deploy PIVOTAL_TICKET_ID=pivotal ticket ID here
Or alternatively, if this feature does not have a ticket in pivotal:
rake hfd:deploy
Later, when you are finished with it, then you can tear everything down with:
rake hfd:undeploy
Again, make sure that you are on the branch that you want to tear down!
- Fork it
- Create your feature branch (
git checkout -b my-new-feature
) - Commit your changes (
git commit -am 'Add some feature'
) - Push to the branch (
git push origin my-new-feature
) - Create new Pull Request
