Staging Servers

For internal documentation, please see the Moda directory in the internal Docs Engineering repo.

When you make a code change and want to review it in a live environment, you can use a staging server.

To review code changes on a staging server:

1. If your changes aren't already in remote, push your branch to docs-internal .
2. Open a draft PR with your changes.
3. Wait until all of the docs-internal Moda CI checks pass.
4. In the #docs-ops Slack channel, enter the following command to begin a staging deploy:

.deploy docs-internal/<your-branch> to staging-<your-username>

If the command was accepted, you will see a reply from Hubot, notifying you if your deploy request is valid.

5. After the deploy is completed, you can view your changes at https://docs-staging-<your-username>.service.iad.github.net if you are behind the Developer VPN.
