Global overview

hg_delivery is a web application who aims to simplify the delivery of small projects and helping people to quickly revert to a previous stable release if something’s wrong. This project targets people bothered by command line, looking for a nice and simple web interface, able to manage multiple remote repositories.

inspired from :

• like banana project

features list :

• remote repository access ssh only

• add/delete/edit project items

• clip project on dashboard

• display remote project summarize (last commit, current revision …)

• display the state of repository

• update to a specific revision for remote repository

• one/one repository compare

• pushing or pulling on/from a remote repository

• add additional task when updating a repository (useful for flushing the cache or for gracefull apache)

• responsive design (thanks to bootstrap)

• a scheduler is available to close ssh pool connection if none are used, it leaves clean connections, thx to pyramid-scheduler

• a diff viewer or merge style thx to mergely

• you can also create macros, and create in one single button a simple way to push to all. That way you can push to all acceptance platform or simply push all your commits to all your nodes.

• some project may be removed from scope automation. This can be defined in project configuration (useful if some nodes are declared but stage as draft)

Made for what ?

• In fact any other webapps made with other languages is suitable too.
