SYNOPSIS

cradle deploy [options] environment

cradle deploy is a deployment command for the Cradle PHP framework. It automates the process of deploying applications to remote servers, handling tasks like code synchronization, dependency installation, database migrations, and cache clearing.The command reads deployment configuration specifying server details, deployment paths, and environment-specific settings. It supports multiple environments, allowing different configurations for production, staging, and development servers.Deployment typically involves pushing code changes, running composer install, executing migrations, and clearing caches. The dry-run option lets you preview what changes will be made before committing to the deployment.

PARAMETERS

ENVIRONMENT

Target deployment environment (production, staging, development).

--config FILE

Use custom deployment configuration file.

--dry-run

Preview deployment without making changes.

--branch BRANCH

Deploy a specific Git branch.

--no-migrate

Skip database migrations during deployment.

--force

Force deployment even with uncommitted changes.

--verbose

CAVEATS

Requires SSH access to target servers. Deployment configuration must specify correct paths and credentials. Use --dry-run first to verify deployment steps. Database migrations should be tested before production deployment.

HISTORY

cradle deploy was created as part of the Cradle framework's CLI tooling to simplify the deployment workflow. It follows patterns established by other PHP framework deployment tools, providing a consistent interface for pushing applications to servers.
