Tag-based deployments
Instead of using a static branch name for automatic deployments, you may create a tag based deployment rule. With tag-based Git deployments, you define one or more tag patterns using regular expressions. To learn more about setting tag patterns on your environment, see the Update Environment API endpoint.
Tag patterns
A tag pattern is a regular expression string. Tag patterns define a dynamic pattern-based rule for automatic deployments. When one or more tag pattern is defined in your environment, the tag-based regular expression rules take precendece over your static automatic deployment branch.
How tag-based deployments work
When a tag is created in your git repository, Amezmo receives a webhook event from your Git provider. Within the event payload, a git reference is defined. A git reference, or git ref is either a commit ID, or a tag. Both commit IDs and tags are strings and are associated with a ref type. The value of a git reference type is either "branch", or "tag".
Amezmo gets an event for when a tag is created and then loops through your list of regular expression patterns and performs a
match against the tag name. If a match is found, the deployment is executed, and no more matches are attempted. To see the value of your environment's
tag patterns, see the auto_deploy_tag_patterns property within the Get an environment API endpoint.
