  • Transfer – here you define the source path, deployment flags, and files to ignore
  • Target – here you provide the data of the server to which you want to deploy
  • Conditions – here you configure the trigger conditions for which the action will run
  • Options – here you define the action's name and behavior on failure and timeout

Hint
Buddy's deployment is based on changesets. This means only changed files are deployed, which makes it lightning fast ⚡️. The first deployment is always performed from scratch, unless you set a revision on the server in the Options tab.
  1. When ready, click Add this action to finish configuration.
Success
Congratulations! You have just automated your deployment to your server. 🥳
