Usage

First, Add a configuration file named .anchour to your project. This file defines some commands composed by an ordered set of steps

Example

anchour:
    connections:
        MySSH:
            type: "ssh"
            options:
                host: "localhost"
                username: "foo"
                password: "bar"

    commands:
        deploy:
            steps:
                -
                    type: "echo"
                    options:
                        message: "A test message <comment>with</comment> <info>formatted</info> <error>output</error>"

                -
                    type: "rsync"
                    options:
                        key_file: "/home/username/.ssh/id_rsa_rsync"
                        source_dir: "tmp/minitwitter"
                        destination_dir: "tmp/minitwitter2"
                    connections:
                        connection: MySSH

Now deploy your project by running

Variables

You may want to commit your .anchour file without some informations like passwords and hosts ... To do that, Anchour allows you to define some required variables in your connections like this

connections:
    MyFTP:
        type: ftp
        options:
            host: %my_host%
            username: %my_username%
            password: %my_password%

commands:
    deploy:
        description: Deploy using FTP
        

        steps:
            -
                type: ftp
                options:
                    remote_dir: %folder%
                connections:
                    connection: MyFTP

There is several way to set those variables : command line arguments > config file > environment variable and finally interactive prompt

anchour.phar my_host=domain.tld
anchour.phar -c config.json
my_host=domain.tld anchour.phar

When you run the command deploy (described above), anchour will detect all the required variables for your command, asks you their values, and use them in the right places (example: %my_username% will be replaced by the value of the variable my_username)
