How to automatically deploy code to a server using Travis CI

Raw

Auto-Deploying via Travis CI

Because Travis CI can automatically execute scripts after successfully (or unsuccessfully!) executing tests, it is an obvious choice for a deployment tool. In order to deploy to a Git repository on a remote server, the process generally is as follows:

Set up SSH keys
Add the server's copy of the repository as a Git remote
Push to the remote
SSH into the server and execute any installation/compilation/miscellaneous commands

Before even touching `.travis.yml`...

SSH keypair

Make sure to generate an SSH keypair for passwordless login! This can be done on from the commandline via ssh-keygen -t rsa (provided OpenSSH is installed, which it normally is for Linux and other emulation layers like Git Bash) or through GUI tools like PuTTYgen. When prompted for a passphrase, make sure to leave it blank so that Travis can automatically login.
