Upload files only

[jonaaix]

I'm trying to just upload my local release build, but it seems shipit always expects any git repo. How can I disable this?

module.exports = (shipit) => {
   require('shipit-deploy')(shipit);

   shipit.initConfig({
      prod: {
         servers: [
            {
               host: 'shop.com',
               user: 'shop',
            },
         ],
         repositoryUrl: '',
         keepReleases: 10,
         deployTo: '/var/www/frontend',
         rsyncFrom: './dist/frontend',
         copy: false
      },
   });
};

Output:

I was wondering the same thing, it's not possible as far as I can tell. ~~Overwriting the built-in deploy:fetch or deploy:update events does not seem to be supported either.~~ (Nevermind that, you can overwrite them, but that doesn't quite fix the problem either).

Best I've come up with so far is creating a custom deploy task that just copies over the files, but that's obviously not ideal since you lose the releases/rollback system unless you implement those yourself as well.

With the state of the project being what it is though I suspect that waiting for the maintainers to make the repository aspect fully optional is futile.
