DeployPHPs

DeployPHPs is a deployment tool designed to simplify the process of releasing PHP applications. It aims to automate common deployment tasks, making it easier for developers to manage and update their code on servers. The tool typically works by connecting to a remote server, often via SSH, and executing a series of commands to transfer and configure application files.

Key features of DeployPHPs often include the ability to manage multiple deployment environments, such as development, staging, and production. It can handle tasks like cloning repositories, installing dependencies using Composer, running database migrations, and restarting web servers or application services. Version control integration is a common aspect, allowing for easy rollback to previous versions if issues arise.

The configuration for DeployPHPs is usually managed through a central file, often a YAML or JSON document, which defines the servers, deployment steps, and any necessary environment variables. This declarative approach helps ensure consistency and reproducibility across deployments. While not a full CI/CD solution, DeployPHPs serves as a crucial component in a development workflow, bridging the gap between code commits and live application availability. Its primary goal is to reduce manual effort and the potential for human error during the deployment process.
