I use bzr for websites. I have all my current ones set up so the master branch is kept on the server by having them bound. This means when I commit locally, the changes are automatically pushed out. All good so far.
But I still have to call an update on the remote server. While I can see this being great for some people, I'm finding it increasingly annoying.
Is there a way to commit, push and do a remote update all at the same time?
Perhaps a script? e.g.
#!/bin/bash
bzr commit $*
bzr pull
bzr push
Put it in your PATH and give it an obvious name like "bzrsync". It's simple, but should save you a few keystrokes...
there are 2 plugins for bzr that could help you:
push-and-update: https://launchpad.net/bzr-push-and-update/
bzr-upload: https://launchpad.net/bzr-upload
The latter does not require to keep the branch with full history on the server at all.
bzr commit on a bound branch uploads your changes but does not update the working tree of the master branch.
After your commit, bzr push should cause the working tree to update remotely.
