Setting Up a Pull-Pull Git Deployment Tool

GIT DASH is a tool to help teams prepare for a new version of their software that will be released under a unique version number. It is meant to replace the older ZSH code version number system, which was prone to mistakes and wrong commits. With the help of GIT DASH, the same codebase can be deployed with fewer bugs promptly. This process called pull-review has become very important as developers strive to release their software in a timely fashion.

A developer working on a project would have to take care not to commit some deal- breaker bugs, which are known as blockers. If the release of the new software is delayed, it can become a nightmare for the whole team working on it. The solution to this problem is to apply a set of rules using the GIT repository. A new feature in GIT which is very useful is the ability to add, edit, and remove tags. With the help of GIT deploy keys, a developer can create a new key based on the specification of any repository. An additional advantage is that you do not have to create a dedicated Git repository for your development work. The reason behind this is that no special information about the software or its source code is required. You can simply create a standard local repository and work on the tasks there without affecting the central repository.

It is very easy to apply the changes in the repository. Once the pull request has been created, you can just push the URL of the repository to the server so that the changes are applied there. The next step is to deploy the application using the built-in publish mechanism of the repository. There are many benefits of using a simple command-line utility like GIT deploy. The first thing to note is that the process is completely automated. All you need is to make the initial push and nothing else is required. Apart from that, a number of scripts and applications are available to help you while working with the repo. This makes the entire process automated and you can concentrate more on other important aspects.

The second thing that is necessary for a working checkout is a pull-pull configuration. The first thing that you need to do is to install the pull-pull plugin. A pull-pull configuration is required for a working checkout on any branch. The pull-pull plugin forces the pulling of a tagged file from a repository. If your branch name already exists, you need to update it by running the command-line option; otherwise, the new name will be pulled from the main checkout. The third requirement is to create a working checkout and push the URL of the branch on the localhost. If your remote origin is undergoing changes, it is necessary to push the URL of the tagged branch to the origin. After pushing the URL, you can test the functionality of the application using the built-in browser console.
