Basic Examples
This example deploys release 1.0.0 of the HelloWorld project to the Production environment:
octo deploy-release --project HelloWorld --releaseNumber 1.0.0 --deployto Production --server https://your-octopus-url --apiKey API-YOUR-KEY
This deploys the latest release in the 1.x Normal Channel of the HelloWorld project to the Production environment:
octo deploy-release --project HelloWorld --channel "1.x Normal" --version latest --deployto Production --server https://your-octopus-url --apiKey API-YOUR-KEY
This deploys the latest release in the 1.x Normal Channel of the HelloWorld project to the Production environment for the Tenants tagged as Upgrade Ring/Early Adopters:
octo deploy-release --project HelloWorld --channel "1.x Normal" --version latest --deployto Production --tenantTag "Upgrade Ring/Early Adopters" --server https://your-octopus-url --apiKey API-YOUR-KEY
You can deploy to ALL tenants in an environment by using the --tenant=* argument. This instructs Octopus to create a deployment for each tenant which is ready for that Release to be deployed to the project/environment.
