This is a quick-and-dirty page explaining how to deploy new versions of the OpenHatch code.

== Prerequisites ==

* You must be part of the [[Login team]] (so your SSH key is available in Github and you're in the openhatch-committers group, and also that your SSH key is in the deploy@linode.openhatch.org account's .ssh/authorized_keys)
* You must be at a computer with that SSH key
* Deploying takes about 3 minutes, maybe less if things go well. (If there are database migrations to run, it can take dramatically longer.)

== How the deploy script works ==

You need to have these programs installed: '''ssh''', '''git'''.

The script does two things:
* Push your current git HEAD onto origin/master.
* SSHs (once) to the linode, where it runs mysite/scripts/deploy_myself.sh which updates the site.

== Recommended way to use the deploy script ==

* Make sure .git/config says that the ''url'' for ''origin'' is:
git@github.com:openhatch/oh-mainline.git
* <code>git fetch</code> # get the latest
* <code>git checkout origin/master -b deploy_me</code> # create a deploy_me branch
* Then get the patch file with e.g. wget, and do
* <code>git am /path/to/the/patch.file</code> # Import the patch into current branch, probably called deploy_me
* Then "git log" and sanity-check it
* If you like it, do
cd mysite
./scripts/deploy

* It's really important to make the separate branch so that you don't accidentally push random local work into the live site.

This is a page about improving or modifying OpenHatch.

We call that "Hacking OpenHatch," and there is a whole category of pages about that.


We are updating our documentation system. This page is now included in our project package, and is automatically generated by sphinx at openhatch.readthedocs.org [1]
