Rollback

How to roll back?

We generally run git revert and merge the code to roll back. But in this process, we must wait for CI for a long time, which causes an impact on users. Therefore, the rollback must be done quickly and accurately.

Gitploy provides a quick and easy one-click rollback. The UI shows a list of completed deployments of which status is success when the user selects a runtime environment. And the first option is just the previous deployment.

After that, when the user clicks rollback, Gitploy fetches the payload from the previous deployment and sends a deployment request with the payload to Github. The ref from the previous deployment is used in this case. However, if the ref of the previous deployment is a branch, Gitploy uses SHA to prevent the head of the branch from being deployed.

Note that auto_merge: false is set internally to avoid merge conflicts when rollback.
