When we're working in a team environment, it's important that our code is well-managed and version controlled. As a freelancer for years, I constantly have to deal with projects that involve more than 2 developers and we use git to manage our code.

However, there's one thing that's always bothering us. We found ourself constantly pushing different releases to staging server and production server manually via ssh and terminal command, that's actually really time consuming especially when the server password is long and hard to remember. Here, we have a great tool - Buddy that able to simply that process and do more to streamline the deployment.

What problems does Buddy solve?

Streamline deployment process is just one of the problems Buddy able to solve. It's created to be easy to use yet powerful at the same time, it can also handle the following problems that you found in other services:

  • No release feature in GitHub and Bitbucket
  • Difficult to understand
  • Unintuitive and cluttered UI

  • Not enough release actions
  • Sluggish GUI
