npm install shipit-deploy

If you are deploying from Windows, you may want to have a look at the wiki page about usage in Windows.

module.exports = function (shipit) {
  require('shipit-deploy')(shipit);

  shipit.initConfig({
    default: {
      workspace: '/tmp/github-monitor',
      deployTo: '/tmp/deploy_to',
      repositoryUrl: 'https://github.com/user/repo.git',
      ignores: ['.git', 'node_modules'],
      keepReleases: 2,
      deleteOnRollback: false,
      key: '/path/to/key',
      shallowClone: true
    },
    staging: {
      servers: '[email protected]'
    }
  });
};

To deploy on staging, you must use the following command :

shipit staging deploy

You can rollback to the previous releases with the command :

shipit staging rollback
