gentle - Help you quickly deploy code to the test environment

--

What is a Gentle?

As a programmer, I thought There may be a step to deployed to the test environment:

• Copy of your code to the test server, enter the username and password.
• Restart your test environment, such as nginx, superviosr.
• Local to see results, repeat 1-2

It is a waste of time...

Gentle can help you automated do that. The development process is:

• Switch to the directory you want to develop

• Initialization gentle:

  • configure the directory you want to sync (use rsync)
  • set the test environment server ip, port, username and password
  • configure every time you want to update the code in the service restart

• You only need coding and following this command:

  $gt publish
  

  If You are more lazyer, you can use:

  $gt p
  

That's all

Install

First You must install sshpass, IN fabric rsync_project need input password again. I use sshpass automation of this process

In ubuntu direct use apt-get/aptitude:

$sudo apt-get install sshpass

Other platform, Go http://sourceforge.net/projects/sshpass donwload the lastest verison, then type the following command:

$tar zxvf sshpass-1.05.tar.gz && cd sshpass-1.05
$./configure && make && sudo make install

Then install gentle, You only use:

$sudo pip install gentle

or:

$git clone https://github.com/dongweiming/gentle
$cd gentle
$sudo python setup.py install
