Add deploy command

[justinfagnani]

The basic command should be:

polytool deploy <target>

Where target might be gh-pages, app-engine, firebase, etc.

It looks like wrapping https://www.npmjs.com/package/ship is a good way to start. They have a gh-pages deployer and a deployer abstraction. There are no App Engine or Firebase deployers yet, those there are issues to track them: app-engine firebase.

If we create these deployers, I'd rather not write and maintain CoffeeScript, so we can start another repo and write them in ES2015 or TypeScript.

@justinfagnani contributing these into the ship repo in any language would be preferable to owning them all by ourselves.

Starting work on this now! 💃💃💃

To update this ticket, I wasn't able to spend much time on this. Unassigning from myself for now until we can prioritize for v1.1.

We may need to consider another option then ship. From ship readme:

⛔ ⛔ We are no longer supporting the ship project. ⛔ ⛔

Explanation: We have found that supporting these different deployment platforms is too difficult for us to keep up with right now. We may re-start this project in the future, but for now you should use it at your own risk

See https://github.com/carrot/ship/blob/master/readme.md.

We spoke to @samccone at some point about us helping to maintain Ship or fork. I'd be curious if that's something we are still interested in.

[samccone]

It is prob worth a fork or just using it as a base :)

[chuckh]

If we fork or use ship as a base I would encourage us to use javascript instead of coffescript.

[justinfagnani]

Or TypeScript :)

So far we've found people can jump right in.
