Bash Release Utility

A small bash utility to enable parallel release to many applications on Heroku.

Installation

Clone this repo

Usage

Configuration

Edit dorelease.sh to set:

• release_script to the script that you would like to be run for each app your app list file. This defaults to release_app.sh which is included in this repo. release_app.sh has lots of examples of things you might want to do like setting environment variables and running migrations. So if you want to do more that just push new code then you'll need to either modify release_app.sh or write your own script.

Create a text file somewhere with all of the apps that you want to be released to, with one per line like

heroku-app-1
heroku-app-2

If you want to keep an app in the list but skip over it just comment it out with a #

Run it

cd into the git repo you want to be released and run your release with

  <PATH_TO_REPO>/dorelease.sh <APP_LIST_FILE> <LOG_DIR> <VERSION>

• APP_LIST_FILE the path to the file that lists all of your applications
• VERSION to the git tag that you would like to be released
• LOG_DIR to the directory where you would like logs to be written.

Running Tests

Tests! We don't need no stinking tests!
