      It will then build them into an object suitable for an auth.json file.

deployr release

# deployr help release

Usage: deployr release [options] <user> <host> <releaseTag>

Send the files to the desination server

Options:
  -k, --key <key>             The private key to use (default: null)

  -H, --server-public <dir>   The server's public HTML folder, relative to --remotePath (default: "html")
  -h, --help                  display help for command

This command will send a release to the destination server.

The files are transferred via SSH, so the user running the command will need
to have access to the recieving server.  This can be done by passing the `-k`
options to specify a private key to provide.

The files will be transferred as a Gzipped, Tar archive and extracted on the
destination server.  This means that the destination server needs to be able to
run the `tar` command.

The release will be placed into the it's own folder
(under `[remotePath]/releases/[releaseTag]`) and the following symlinks will be created:
- `[remotePath]/releases/current` -> `[remotePath]/releases/[releaseTag]`
- `[remotePath]/releases/previous` -> `[remotePath]/releases/[prev releaseTag]`
- `[remotePath]/[serverPublic]` -> `[remotePath]/releases/current`

Everything but the current and previous releases will be removed from the
destination server.

  -k, --key <key>  The private key to use (default: null)
  -h, --help       display help for command

This command will create a symlink on the server.

The files are transferred via SSH, so the user running the command will need
to have access to the recieving server.  This can be done by passing the `-k`
options to specify a private key to provide.

- The directory structure to the link will be created, if necessary.

This command will send a release to the destination server, and do some
tasks specific to Wordpress projects.

See `deployr help release` for help pertaining to the `release` command.

In addition to releasing, this command will create a folder for files which
should be persisted between releases, which exists outside the release folder.
Symlinks will be created from the release's `assets` folder.  The following
folders will be persisted in this manner:
- `uploads`
- `languages`
- `shield`
- `cache`

The `persist` folder will be group writable.
