# Deployment Services

# Netlify

Netlify is an all-in-one platform for automating modern web projects.

Usually the master branch of a git repo will be directly connected to the production deploy on netlify. So after code review when you merge your feature branch into master an automatic build will be triggered and sent to production.

A netlify site can have any number of branch deploys as well, the most common ones you will see are development and staging branch - which may vary from project to project.

These deploy branches will have their own custom urls and will not affect the production branch.

When you push your changes to the staging or development branch these will trigger builds for the branch deploys associated them.

# Gitworks

Gitworks is like a wrapper for our oldest review and production servers. Gitworks allows us to shell into those servers and perform git functionality.

# Deploying through Gitworks

In your terminal:

ssh wlion@gitworks1.wlion.com

When prompted enter the password found in the Passport.

pwd       # To show the present working directory

Then navigate from the root.

review branches:

cd /var/www/vhosts-web5

production branches:

cd /var/www/vhost

Run ls or ls and you shoud see a collection of white lion repo. cd into the directory. You may have to do some investigating, but for older projects you might want to look in the httpdocs for the actual root directory of the project. Once you're in the root:

git fetch

Then checkout the latest tag from master branch.

git checkout tags/2021.05.12.01     # Example tag following time/version format

You may have to resolve merge conflicts using the cli, or just --force the checkout but that isn't recommended as first option.

# Deploybot

Similar to Netlify. Currently PERC a.k.a. propane.com is run through this service.

Changes to the development branch in git repo will trigger builds for percdev.wpengine.com for internal/external review.

After merging feature branch code into master. The staging deploy automatically begins to build. However in order to build for production deploy you must manual trigger the build from perc.deploybot.com.

Credentials can be found in the PERC Passport.

# Circle CI

Circle CI provides many of the same features as Netlify only that you have the ability to self-host your website and not rely on Netlify hosting.
