Deploy an app build to a remote server with SSH and SCP.

deploy.sh

#!/bin/sh

echo "deploying..."

# bundle, minify, and package css and js - optional
# gulp build

# using SSH vs SFTP because SSH offers us rm -rf *
# which deletes directories even if they are empty
# we don't have to traverse the directory and delete files manually
# <<EOF tells shell to give the following lines to the sftp terminal
ssh -i ~/.ssh/DEPLOY_KEY USERNAME@APP.COM <<EOF
cd build
rm -rf *
exit
EOF

# upload files from build to the remote file build
scp -r -i ~/.ssh/DEPLOY_KEY ./build/* USERNAME@APP.COM:/build/

echo "deploy finished"
