- When ready, click Add this action to finish configuration.

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 beforehand.

- You can use Ignore paths to exclude files for deployment in More Options.
