Configuration

You need to create .shipit file in your project’s directory.

Here is a typical config:

host='myhost'
path='sites/example.com'

[deploy:local]
git push origin master

[deploy]
git checkout master
git pull
npm install
grunt build

[status]
uptime

The only required things is host and path parameters and [deploy] or [deploy:local]  target.

For non-standard port number, and to specify which SSH key to use, edit your SSH config at ~/.ssh/config:

host example.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/keyfile
port 10022
user usernamehere

Parameters

host

It’s the same host you use in ssh command. It could be string of format <username>@<ip>:<port> or just a name of ~/.ssh/config record.

path

Project path on remote host. shipit will cd to this directory before executing any command.

Targets

Target is just a bunch of shell command that will be executed on remote host via SSH. You can define as many targets as you want.

Note that you can’t use blank lines inside targets but you can use comments (#) and other things—it’s just a shell script.

Local targets

If you append :local to a target name (like [name:local]) it will be executed on your local machine before remote target with the same name. You can define only local, only remote or both targets.

In case of any errors in local target remote target won’t be executed.

You can use these variables:

• $SSH_HOST — your config’s host value,
• $SSH_PATH — your config’s path value.

Examples

Deploy from Git

host='myhost'
path='sites/example.com'

[deploy:local]
git push origin master

[deploy]
git checkout master
git pull
npm install
npm prune
npm run build

Deploy with rsync

host='myhost'
path='sites/example.com'

[deploy:local]
npm test
npm run build
rsync --archive --compress --force --delete public/ $SSH_HOST:$SSH_PATH
