    -t "My Project" \
    -x '(jquery|min.js|libs/(backbone|underscore|require))' \
    path/to/my_project

# save history
cp -r plato-report /opt/

# deploy build result to the dashboards host
rsync -avh --delete -e "ssh -i $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa" plato-report user@dashboards.example.com:/var/www/html/
