LaunchFlow actions-promote

A GitHub action for promoting deployments between environments in LaunchFlow. This action can be used to promote a deployment running in one environment to another. For instance you can use this action to promote a deployment running in the dev environment to the prod environment.

Prerequisites

• Create a LaunchFlow project
• Create two environments in your LaunchFlow project
• Launch a deployment in the environment you are promoting from

Usage

The below is an example from promoting from a dev environment to a prod environment. This will take the deployment running in the dev environment and launch in in the prod environment. You need to provide the environment names, the deployment key for the prod environment, and the project ID the environments live in. We recommend storing the project ID and deployment key as secrets in your repository.
