## Description

`jaloc` is just another laptop on the cloud;

it collects some ideas to design your devops things.

## Deploy from a fixed tag

A popular way is to deploy from a specific tag or branch.

Normally you do as following

```

$ git tag  v1.0.2

$ git push v1.0.2

$ circleci --please --deploy --my-tag "v1.0.2"

$ git checkout -b my-qa-branch

$ git push my-qa-branch

$ circleci --please --deploy --my-branch "my-qa-branch"

```

What's happening here? When you look at your git history, you don't

know where your deployment point is. You have to learn your branches

or tags.

Let's do this

```

$ git tag production-ready -f

$ git push --force production-ready

$ circleci --please --deploy --my-tag "production-ready"

```

This way helps

1. You learn the deployment point from git history (`git tag`).

2. It's easy to convert your deployment script to a poll/pull-based

   deployment script.

3. It's very easy to move your deployment to a different point

   by overriding the tag.

Deployment tag works like a pointer and it can be resolved to arbitary

commit in your repository.

There may be some problems

1. It's easier to make mistake with wrong tag (but the same issue applies with other methods too)

2. If anyone can push tag, that would cause a lot of headache ^^ (but the same issue applies with other methods too)

Note, it's better to use annotated tag...
