Middleman Deploy - Deploy a [middleman](http://middlemanapp.com/)
built site over rsync, ftp, sftp, or git (e.g. gh-pages on github).
[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/tvaughan/middleman-deploy.png)](http://travis-ci.org/tvaughan/middleman-deploy)
# QUICK START
## Step 1
middleman init example-site
cd example-site
## Step 2
Edit `Gemfile`, and add:
gem "middleman-deploy", "~> 0.0.12"
Then run:
bundle install
## Step 3a - Rsync setup
First be sure that `rsync` is installed.
**These settings are required.**
Edit `config.rb`, and add:
activate :deploy do |deploy|
deploy.method = :rsync
deploy.user = "tvaughan"
deploy.host = "www.example.com"
deploy.path = "/srv/www/site"
end
Adjust these values accordingly.
**These settings are optional.**
To use a particular SSH port, add:
deploy.port = 5309
Default is `22`.
To remove orphaned files or directories on the remote host, add:
deploy.clean = true
Default is `false`.
## Step 3b - Git setup
First be sure that `git` is installed.
**These settings are required.**
Edit `config.rb`, and add:
activate :deploy do |deploy|
deploy.method = :git
end
By default this will deploy to the `gh-pages` branch on the `origin`
remote. The `build` directory will become a git repo.
**These settings are optional.**
To use a particular remote, add:
deploy.remote = "some-other-remote-name"
Default is `origin`. This can be a remote name or a git url.
If you use a remote name, you must first add it using `git remote
add`. Run `git remote -v` to see a list of possible remote names. If
you use a git url, it must end with '.git'.
To use a particular branch, add:
deploy.branch = "some-other-branch-name"
Default is `gh-pages`. This branch will be created on the remote if it
doesn't already exist.
## Step 3c - FTP setup
**These settings are required.**
Edit `config.rb`, and add:
activate :deploy do |deploy|
deploy.method = :ftp
deploy.host = "ftp.example.com"
deploy.user = "tvaughan"
deploy.password = "secret"
deploy.path = "/srv/www/site"
end
Adjust these values accordingly.
## Step 3d - SFTP setup
**These settings are required.**
Edit `config.rb`, and add:
activate :deploy do |deploy|
deploy.method = :sftp
deploy.host = "ftp.example.com"
deploy.user = "tvaughan"
deploy.password = "secret"
deploy.path = "/srv/www/site"
end
Adjust these values accordingly.
## Step 4
middleman build [--clean]
middleman deploy [--build-before]
To run `middleman build` before `middleman deploy`, add:
deploy.build_before = true
Default is `false`.
## BREAKING CHANGES
* v0.1.0
* Removed the `--clean` command-line option. This option only applied
to the rsync deploy method. The idea going forward is that
command-line options must apply to all deploy methods. Options that
are specific to a deploy method will only be available in
`config.rb`.
* Removed `deploy` from the `after_build` hook. This caused a
`deploy` to be run each time `build` was called. This workflow never
made sense. `deploy` was added to the `after_build` hook simply
because it was available.
