How does the deployment process work? ===================================== Whenever you are doing a deployment, the following things occur: #. porter parses your project.ini file #. it looks for a list of modules to be deployed #. it recursively builds dependencies to be deployed, and it starts with them. For each of the modules, porter does the following things: #. it parses the module's ini file in order to discover which plugins you are using. #. It checks whether a deploy is actually needed - it uses release section for that. If an combination of (module, config, host, release) is found within porter.db, then the deployment is not performed. #. it clones / refreshes the repository #. it sets the appropriate branch / tag / revision / etc #. it uses rsync to push your code to the destination machine #. it stores the deployed version of the module into the porter.db
