What is deployment?
Deployment is the process of releasing code to a live environment.
Deployment refers to the steps taken to make a software application available for use. This often involves moving code from a development environment to a production environment where users can access it.
During deployment, developers may use tools like Git to manage changes and ensure that the latest version of the application is running. This process can include testing, configuration, and sometimes rolling back to a previous version if issues arise.
For example, after completing a new feature in a web application, a developer would deploy the updated code so that users can benefit from the new functionality.
Example
git push origin main to deploy the latest code changes.
