netlifydd

A tool for quickly deploying prebuilt assets to Netlify.

Why?

The official Netlify CLI has a ton of dependencies, a lot of which are are unnecessary if you're just planning to deploy prebuilt assets.

Getting started

# install `netlifydd`, preferably as a dev dependency of your project
$ npm install --save-dev @intrnl/netlifydd

# login to your Netlify account
$ npm exec netlifydd login

# link project folder to a Netlify site
$ npm exec netlifydd link

# create a deployment!
$ npm exec netlifydd deploy dist

Single-Page Application setup

Add a file named _redirects on your asset directory with the following:

/*   /index.html   200

Serverless and Edge Functions?

There's currently no plans to support deploying either serverless or edge functions. You might be better off with the official Netlify CLI as it offers you a development environment for working with them locally.

Informative deployment info

Here's a shell script you can use to provide the Git commit and branch name used for deployment.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if [[ -n $(git status --porcelain) ]]; then
	echo 'Working directory is not clean'
	git status --short
	exit 1
fi

GIT_BRANCH=$(git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name --abbrev-ref HEAD)
GIT_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
npm exec netlifydd deploy -m "${GIT_BRANCH} ${GIT_COMMIT}" dist/
