Deploy to Repository

Overview

This allows developers to deploy application packages to the 'Team' or 'Applications' repositories in github. This is a major productivity improvement providing centralized application distribution and update management.

App Settings

The following Repository App Settings determine the Github Team and Applications repositories and their respective usernames:

Item	Description
Team repository	Github team repository name, e.g. Lianja/LianjaX
Team repository username	Github team repository username for authentication
Applications repository	Github apps repository, e.g. Lianja/LianjaApps
Applications repository username	Github apps repository username for authentication

Downloading from the Team Repository

Application packages can be downloaded from the Team Repository in the Team workspace. A tile will be displayed for each package available in the Team repository for the current Team repository username account. Depending on whether the package has already been installed or not, the tile allows the App to be opened or the package downloaded.

Downloading from the Applications Repository

End users can download packaged Lianja applications from the Repository panel in the Lianja App Center. If an App has already been downloaded, the displayed tile allows the App to be opened or notifies of an available update.

Creating a Lianja Package File

These are created in the Deploy workspace. See here for full details.

Deploying to the Team and Applications Repositories

After creating a Lianja package file, it can be published to the Team or Release GitHub repository from the Team Development and Release Management tab in the Deploy workspace.

As well as package publishing (uploading), the buttons allow for repository packages to be listed or unpublished (deleted).
