Automation

This module implements Fabric to perform the following tasks:

fab refresh to sync your database with the servers and rsync
your media assets.
fab topic to create a new topic-specific branch
fab sync to pull changes from the master branch into your local
topic branch.
fab merge to merge the changes from your topic branch back into
master, or merge the master branch into the production branch.
fab pull_request to submit a pull request on GitHub for your
topic to be merged into the production branch
fab deploy to run a "fast" or "full" deploy to either staging or
production servers

Requirements

Automation requires hub to perform GitHub pull requests.

Installation

Install via pip:

$ pip install automation

Create fabfile.py in your project's root directory and tell automation about your project, then import automation:

from fabric.api import env


env.project_name = 'myproject'
env.repo_source = '[email protected]:myname/myproject.git'
env.django_settings_module = 'myproject.settings'
env.django_test_settings_module = 'myproject.test_settings'
env.roledefs = {
  'staging': ['[email protected]'],
  'production': ['[email protected]']}


from automation import *

Usage

Exactly as mentioned above, just enter the command in your shell. Note that you must be in your project's directory (or a sub-directory) thereof for Fabric to be able to find your fabfile.
