Artefact Storage

Artefact Storage in DeployHQ is used during your deployments to keep a manifest of your deployments. This extra step allows you to, later on, download a deployment manifest, which includes the exact files that were uploaded to your server.

This deployment manifest offers many advantages, as you're able to have a "snapshot" of your deployment conveniently available to you for download down the line. This manifest includes:

• The files directly uploaded to your server from your repository
• Any config files added to your project
• Files generated during the build pipeline

This manifest, does not include:

• Any files that have not been updated between commits, as they haven't been uploaded either
• Excluded files added to the DeployHQ dashboard
• Excluded files through .deployignore

If you wish to download a deployment manifest, you can do so by going into your deployment summary page, and check the lower-left part of the summary, where a "download deployment manifest" can be found.
