Hello,

You would need to disconnect the template's source repo, click Deploy, connect the desired repo, click Deploy.

This will allow the other person's service to auto-deploy on push.

These steps have likely not been performed correctly, so I highly recommend starting over with a fresh template deployment.

Best,

This is how current setup looks for anyone who sets up project using my template. Is this correct?

Because, whenever I push something to prod branch, nothing happens.

Also, When I click "check for updates", it always says "You're on the latest version of this repository"- This is wrong.

Hello,

Please follow the steps I have given in my first message.

I have tried both methods:

• Did as you suggested

• Forked the source repo and connected it. On syncing changes from source repo, I expect an auto deployment.

In both cases, unfortunately the changes are not auto deploying.

Btw, what’s “desired” repo? In my case, It’s the same repo I want to connect to.

Can you please link to the service that you have completed the steps I have provided on? even if its the other user's service.

desired = the same repo you want to connect to.

I’m sorry, I didn’t understand the first part of your message.

Please share a link to the service that you have completed the given steps on.

sure

You have not completed the four steps outlined in my first message, please go ahead and do that at your earliest convenience.

I just now completed these steps again, disconnected the source repo -> Deploy (It did nothing) -> connected back same repo -> Deploy.

But if you can see, It again pulled an old commit. Please refer to the commits history screenshot I've shared below.

To give you context around my situation:

I have a Nextjs app which is on GitHub as a private repo.

I have created a template using this private repo and I have shared this template with my clients so that they can deploy themselves with one click. Until here everything works fine.

Problem is when I push an update to my source repo. I want to make sure that my client’s service is also auto deployed. But currently it’s not happening.

I have tested these two methods(for clients). In both cases, auto deployment is not being triggered on pushing update.

• Client’s project created with the template directly points to source repo

• Client’s project created with the template points to forked repo of the source repo

Note that, client has access to my repo(added as a collaborator)

So, ultimate goal is to auto deploy my client’s project on source repo update.

I have even tried as you suggested, but no success.

Please let me know if I’m doing anything wrong or any other ways to solve my issue. Thanks

Hello,

Looks like you have followed the steps, you can now deploy the latest commit with ctrl / cmd + k -> deploy latest commit and I have done that for you to show that it works.

Best,
Brody

Thanks, But why is it that it's not auto deploying? or show me that message "A new update is available" that I usually see on the left panel in my project.

I'm not sure, I'll have to attempt to reproduce it

Sure, please help me out here.

Atleast now that I know how to manually trigger deployment with latest commit, I'll continue with my work.

I'll be waiting for your message :)

For the sake of transparency this is likely not something we will be able to prioritize a fix for any time soon, even if I'm able to reproduce.

Ok, I appreciate that.

I'll still ticket, but to bump this in priority would require several more reports of this affecting users.
