Questions about deployment

[brandonlin]

Hi,

I've searched the forum, and I haven't been able to find the answers to my questions.

1. For push deployment, am I able to select which branch to automatically deploy from? Is that what the "Checked out branch" is for? I tried changing that from master to develop, but the change doesn't take any effect.

2. Is the following setup possible under cPanel GIT deployment?
- Have a single cPanel-managed repositories with two branches: develop and master.
- Apply push deployment for the develop branch such that any updates to this branch gets deployed to the dev site automatically.
- Apply pull deployment for the master branch such that we can update from the develop branch (by treating the develop branch as a remote repo) and deploy each commit manually to the production site.
It doesn't seem possible since there is only one .cpanel.yml file under the root repo directory?

Thank you so much for your help. Really appreciated.

Hello,

Have you read the guide to git we have in our documentation?

Guide to Git™ - Deployment | cPanel & WHM Documentation

The Git™ Version Control feature allows you to deploy your cPanel-managed repositories. Generally, deployment sends finished code into production. You can use different configurations to automatically (push deployment) or manually (pull deployment) deploy changes.

Guide to Git™ - How to Set Up Deployment | cPanel & WHM Documentation

cPanel's Git Version Control interface (cPanel >> Home >> Files >> Git Version Control) allows you to configure deployment for your cPanel-managed repositories. While many deployment configurations are possible, this document only outlines two types of deployment that you can configure.

Thank you cPanelLauren. I did read over them a couple times. I couldn't find the answer to either of my questions. Thank you for your help!
