# Deploy

## Before you start
- [ ] Tests pass locally
- [ ] You are not on the default branch (or you intend to be)

## Steps
1. Run `./scripts/deploy.sh`
2. Wait for the line `==> Deploy complete.` Anything else is a failure, even
   if the exit code is 0.
3. Verify the change is actually on the box:
   `[the concrete grep/curl that proves it]`
4. Check logs for new errors: `[command]`

## It is not done until
All three of: the completion line printed, the change greps on the box, and the
logs are clean. Two out of three is a failed deploy that looks fine.

## If it fails
- `[known failure 1]` -> `[fix]`
- `[known failure 2]` -> `[fix]`
