Make the script executable: chmod +x deploy.sh

Alter the paths and username to match your own.

If your using NPM scripts, you can add this to your package json for easy running:

    "deploy:live:sim": "./deploy.sh live",
    "deploy:live": "./deploy.sh live go",
    "deploy:staging:sim": "./deploy.sh staging",
    "deploy:staging": "./deploy.sh staging go"

./deploy.sh live will do a simulated deploy. No files transferred, will just output what it would do in a real deploy
./deploy.sh live go this will do a real deploy
