push

The forest push command enables you to apply your local changes to a remote non-reference environment: for instance, pushing to your staging environment will result in your latest local layout changes being visible on your staging.

$ forest push --help
Push layout changes of your current branch to the branch origin.

USAGE
  $ forest push

OPTIONS
  --projectId=projectId          The id of the project to work on.
  --force                        Skip push changes confirmation.
  --help                         Display usage information.

Pushing to a remote environment

It is paramount to understand this command before using it:

Pushing a branch to a remote means applying your latest layout changes to your origin environment. In the above figure, your layout changes (Δ) will be moved from my-branch to Staging.

Pushing your changes from your local branch will automatically delete it.

To push layout changes to your origin:

$ forest push

You will be prompted for confirmation before pushing:

$ forest push
[? Push branch my-current-branch onto Remote2 (Y|n): Y

To skip that confirmation, use the --force option.

Push from the UI

This is possible only from a remote which not have the reference environment as origin:

To push your latest layout changes from a remote environment, you may use the top banner link: "Push to ...".

Difference between forest push and forest deploy

Don't confuse forest push and forest deploy

• forest push applies the latest layout changes of that branch or environment to a non-reference environment

• forest deploy applies your latest layout changes definitively to your reference environment (i.e production)

You cannot push to production, because anything added on Production should be definitive. Therefore you can only deploy to Production.
