CI/CD for PHP
đź“š Learn more about PHP action features, integrations and alternatives.
With Buddy, you can create a pipeline that builds, tests, and deploys PHP applications on a push to Git. The configuration is super simple and takes 10 to 15 minutes.

Configuration is very easy and takes only a couple of minutes.
1. Select your Git repository
Buddy supports all popular Git hosting providers, including GitHub, Bitbucket and GitLab. You can also use your own private Git server, or host code directly on Buddy.

2. Add a new delivery pipeline
Enter the pipeline's name, select the trigger mode, and define the branch from which Buddy will fetch your code:

Trigger modes
- Manually (on click) — recommended for Production
- On events (automatic) — recommended for Development
- On schedule (on time interval) — recommended for Staging/Testing
3. Add actions
Buddy lets you choose from dozens of predefined actions. In this example, we'll add 5 actions that will perform the following tasks:
- Download Composer dependencies and run unit tests
- Compile assets with Gulp
- Upload code to server together with compiled assets
- Run db migrations
- Send notification to Slack
3.1 Test your PHP application
Look up and click PHP on the action list to add it to the pipeline:

The Run tab lets you determine the commands to execute. The default commands are:

3.1.2 PHP version
You can change the version of PHP and install missing packages & tools in the runtime environment tab:

3.2 Run Gulp tasks
The next step is adding the Gulp action that will compile your assets and minify the code (you can find it in the Build Tools & Task Runners section).

3.4 Run db migrations
Once the app is deployed, you can run additional commands on your server with the SSH action:

Enter the commands to execute in Run CMDs and configure authentication details in the Target tab:

3.5 Send notification to Slack
You can configure Buddy to send your team a message after the deployment. In this example we'll use Slack:

4. Summary
Congratulations! You have just automated your entire delivery process. Make a push to the selected branch and watch Buddy fetch, build, and deploy your project. With Continuous Delivery applied, you can now focus on what's really important: developing awesome apps! 🔥
