library z-plugin-refs

zicht/z-plugin-refs

A refs plugin that will create refs from deploy

z-plugin-refs

This plugin will create commit from the tree that is deployed (and if the ref already exists with the old ref as parent) and saves/update the commit hash in a ref that is located in refs/envs/{{target_env}}. So for example you deploy to production the ref will be stored in refs/envs/production (or on working dir ./git/refs/production)., _(*1)

So what it basically does is creating an new timeline/history from the commits deployed to a environment and because it is basically a branch with the refs/envs/{{target_env}} as head, you can do evertything what you normaly do with branch., _(*2)
