This is an example of a simple deployment script using with the great TYPO3 Surf. You can use this script with TYPO3 Surf to deploy a simple static website.

SimpleSurfDeployScript.php

<?php

	// Create a simple workflow based on the predefined 'SimpleWorkflow'.
$workflow = new \TYPO3\Surf\Domain\Model\SimpleWorkflow();

	// Define a custom task for smoketesting based on the 'httptest' task.
	// Be sure, that the document root of next.example.org points to
	// '[deploymentPath]/releases/next'
$smokeTestOptions = array(
	'url' => 'http://next.example.org',
	'remote' => FALSE,
	'expectedStatus' => 200
);
$workflow->defineTask('yournamespace:smoketest', 'typo3.surf:test:httptest', $smokeTestOptions);
	// Add the new defined task to the workflow 'test' stage.
$workflow->addTask('yournamespace:smoketest', 'test');

	// Add the workflow to the deployment. The $deployment instance is created by Surf.
$deployment->setWorkflow($workflow);

	// Create and configure your node / nodes (host / hosts).
$node = new \TYPO3\Surf\Domain\Model\Node('foobar');
$node->setHostname('example.org');
	// If you don't use SSH-Keys to log into your remote host via SSH (as recommended),
	// you have to to add the following line:
	// $node->setOption('password', 'bar');
	// But you don't want to have any passwords as string in your deployment script ;-) 
$node->setOption('username', 'foo');

	// Define your application and add it to your node.
$application = new \TYPO3\Surf\Application\BaseApplication('myCoolApp');
	// The deployment path is not the document root!
	// The document root has to be: '[deploymentPath]/releases/current'.
$application->setDeploymentPath('/path/to/your/app');
	// Be sure, that your node has read-access to your git repository.
	// In most cases, you can use the git- or https-protocol for public repositories or
	// SSH to read from private repositories.
	// Here is an example with the git protocol and a public repository.
$application->setOption('repositoryUrl', 'git://github.com/githubUsername/myCoolApp.git');
$application->addNode($node);

	// Add the application to your deployment.
$deployment->addApplication($application);
