Description

Most of the settings across different deployment scripts such as staging.yaml and production.yaml are the same. Usually, they only differ in the name of the branch, therefore I would like to propose to use a single configuration file with different sections instead of separate files, the format might look like:

repo: git@github.com:<org>/<repo>
build_script:
   - stack setup
   - stack build
restart_command: <restart command>

staging:
  revision: origin/master

production:
  revision: origin/production

Then we could change the CLI to take a section as an argument:

$ stack exec hap -- deploy staging
$ stack exec hap -- deploy production
``

Research direction

Start by locating the deployment configuration files named staging.yaml and production.yaml, then trace the CLI entry point for the deploy command. Compare the shared settings and determine how configuration sections are selected; done means the proposed single-file format and staging/production commands work without separate deployment files.
