Installation

Clone this project into your Terminus plugins directory found at $HOME/.terminus/plugins. If the $HOME/.terminus/plugins directory does not exists you can safely create it. You will also need to run composer install in the plugin directory after cloning it. See installing Terminus plugin for details.

Purpose

A hotfix is the only way to push code directly to Live without having to go through Dev and Test. Any damage to the source code will be the responsibility of the user. The intended use case is for critical security releases or bug fixes that need to be deployed as quickly and easily as possible. Hotfixes should be used with care and only in emergency situations. Hotfixes should be the exception, not the norm.

Currently hotfix deployments, emergency updates to test/live that skip the normal workflow and potentially undeployed code in master, need to be done manually and require more advanced git skills. See the hotfix doc for details. This plugin aims to make that process easier.

Requirements

Commands

  • terminus hotfix:env:git-ref <site>.<env> - returns the deployed git reference of the specifiied environment.
  • terminus hotfix:env:create <site>.<env> <multidev> - creates a new environment for the site with code, database and files from the environment by checking out the lastest git tag associated with environment.
  • terminus hotfix:env:deploy <site>.<env> <multidev> - deploy the changes from the specified environment directly to for the site , skipping the normal workflow, and rebase the changes back to the master branch/dev environment.
