PHP: Creating the staging environment

This documentation is part of the Deploy with GitHub Actions guide. You can view the complete guide here: How to deploy your PHP code using GitHub Actions.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero offers a PHP cloud solution designed for fast, reliable deployments:

• Deploy your PHP application to production in seconds with a simple git push.
• Use your own domain, with automatic HTTPS certificates configured for you—no manual steps required.
• Take advantage of automatic backups, one-click updates, and straightforward, predictable pricing. Stackhero manages these aspects so you can focus on your code.
• Enjoy strong performance and enhanced security on a private, dedicated VM built specifically for your applications.

Save time and streamline your workflow—getting started with Stackhero's PHP cloud hosting takes just a few minutes.

You can set up your staging environment in the same way as the production environment. Just repeat the steps above, replacing production with staging where appropriate.

Once the settings are configured, create your staging branch as follows:

git checkout -b staging

Then push it to GitHub:

git push --set-upstream origin staging

GitHub Actions will automatically deploy the code from your staging branch to the PHP service you have set up for staging.
