This was first written having Drupal in mind, though it works for other frameworks as well. **Visit [https://aklump.github.io/loft\_deploy](https://aklump.github.io/loft_deploy) for full documentation.** Quick Start ----------- [](#quick-start) *Before you begin, to save from lot's of password entries, you should ensure key-based authentication is working between server instances.* Add to your codebase: ``` $ cd /path/to/local/app $ composer require aklump/loft-deploy ``` Add the following to *.gitignore* for your project. ``` .loft_deploy/ ``` Now deploy across environments as you would any other change. --- On your production server do the following to configure it: ``` $ cd /path/to/production/app $ ./vendor/bin/loft_deploy.sh init prod $ ./vendor/bin/loft_deploy.sh config $ ./vendor/bin/loft_deploy.sh configtest $ ./vendor/bin/loft_deploy.sh config-export ``` --- On your local machine, configure it, adding the snippet generated in the previous step via `config-export`. ``` $ cd /path/to/local/app $ ./vendor/bin/loft_deploy.sh init dev $ ./vendor/bin/loft_deploy.sh config $ ./vendor/bin/loft_deploy.sh configtest ``` Now pull your non SCM assets from production to local: ``` $ ./vendor/bin/loft_deploy.sh pull ``` Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) 1. [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) 2. PHP 3. Key-based server authentication Using the `ldp` command ----------------------- [](#using-the-ldp-command) To make working with Loft Deploy easier you should install the `ldp` command, which allows you to execute *vendor/bin/loft\_deploy.sh* from any directory within your project. ### Installation [](#installation) 1. After Composer installing [aklump/loft-deploy](https://github.com/aklump/loft_deploy), place a symlink to *./vendor/bin/ldp.sh* somewhere $PATH can find it, e.g., ``` $ cd ~/bin $ ln -s /path/to/app/vendor/bin/ldp.sh ldp ``` 2. Now use `ldp` as the command to execute *loft\_deploy.sh* from within any directory in your project, e.g., ``` $ cd /path/to/app/ $ ldp info $ cd /path/to/app/web/modules $ ldp info ``` ### Multiple Projects Using Loft Deploy? [](#multiple-projects-using-loft-deploy) No problem because *ldp.sh* works across all versions of Loft Deploy, the symlink to project A will work for project B and C. That is to say, you need only install one symlink for many projects, even if those many projects have different versions of *Loft Deploy* installed. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) The configuration file may be edited in one of two ways: 1. `$ ldp config` (using `$EDITOR`) 2. Open */path/to/app/.loft\_deploy/config.yml* in your editor of choice. Be sure to **test your configuration** until you see no warnings `$ ldp configtest`. See also [configuration](@config) Usage ----- [](#usage) See inner documentation for how to use.
