Deployment Automation

What problem does it solve?

Deploying Holochain hApps across multiple platforms and repositories with consistent CI/CD can be error-prone and time-consuming. This skill provides a battle-tested, multi-repository deployment system that automates cross-platform builds, asset uploads, and release coordination, ensuring 100% success rates. It eliminates manual errors and reduces release time.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multi-Repository Coordination: Manages deployments across main, Kangaroo Electron (desktop), and Homebrew repositories.
• Cross-Platform Builds: Automates builds for macOS (ARM64/x64), Windows (x64), and Linux (DEB/AppImage).
• CI/CD Pipeline Management: Optimizes GitHub Actions workflows for reliable releases and asset uploads, including proven fixes for common issues.
• Use Case: A team needs to release a new version of their Holochain hApp to all desktop platforms and the web, requiring synchronized versioning, code signing, and robust asset upload mechanisms. This skill orchestrates the entire 7-step release process.
