  1. Wow this is a very great article thank you very much and is very long you should consider splitting it into parts and also the ssh key and ip address is exposed in this article; you should consider hiding it. But overall this is a very helpful article. I am grateful for taking your time to write it.

  2. Awesome article, you might want to add these if your workflow fails at the deploy stage

    `set(‘composer_options’, ‘install –verbose –prefer-dist –no-progress –no-interaction –optimize-autoloader’);`
    `set(‘writable_mode’, ‘chown’);`

  3. Hey! Thank you for this great article!
    I have a question: why do you run “composer install” inside the git action and not on the server when deploying it? I feel like this would save some time, since most of the dependencies are already on the server…?

  4. In the deploy.php file, the require statements is looking for laravel.php and rsync.php in a recipe folder at the project root level. The article doesn’t mention anything about creating the recipe folder and copying those files from vendor\deployer\recipe.

    Also, when installing deployer and deployer recipes, I got a yellow notice saying that deployer recipes and deployer phar– projects have been abandoned. Has anyone take over these packages or found alternatives?

  5. Can anyone please help to run artisan command on deployment. How can I execute php artisan migrate and other commands.
