Deploy on push

An app published from a git link follows its branch: push a commit, and it goes online by itself.

How it works

It is on from the first publish of a git repo. Every minute, Secretbase asks the repository which commit the app's branch points at. A new one is published the usual way, one app at a time. Nothing to set up on GitHub or any other git service: no webhook.

An app that is offline isn't updated until it is back online.

Turn it off or on

In the app's folder, or with the app's name:

$ secretbase updates my-site off
$ secretbase updates my-site on

Off, it says "Update on push is off for my-site: new commits are published only when you publish." On, "Update on push is on for my-site: each new commit is published by itself within about a minute."

On the dashboard: the app's Settings, Update on push.

If something goes wrong

• An app published from a folder has no update on push:

$ secretbase updates my-app off
my-app isn't published from a git link, so it has no update on push.

• A commit that didn't go online: read why with secretbase logs my-site. If the repository can't be read, Secretbase tries again every 5 minutes.
• A private repository needs its git token: see A git repo.
