How do I deploy or push updates to my app?

General

I’m working on a complicated app and after testing some features I have to come back and make edits, updates etc. How do I push these updates to the live app/server? I have already published the app (using the publish button in the top right) but now after I made more updates and click “Publish” it’s just publishing a new instance of the app and that’s not really what I want :frowning: I want it to update the existing app. Any help would be greatly appreciated :slight_smile: Thanks…

I’m not a fan of the publish button. In fact my publish doesn’t actually work any more!

Depends what you want to do.

I think for iterations using the ‘links icon’ to create a preview url has been the fastest way to see live updates, and you can make it public too.

Or you can build it. If using Next.js you can try inputting this in your console on the code view… npm run build.

Then I run… Firebase deploy --only hosting

This gives me a much nicer production url for sharing.
