Transcript

Okay, welcome back. Now that we've completed our automated build and deployment set-up, using BitBucket pipelines, and that we've completed a full build and deployment out to production as per Pipeline #4, and as per the static website that's being served out of our S3 bucket, we should really go back and tag the source code. So let's jump into our terminal, and then we'll run the command git tag -a, we'll call it release 1.0.0, and we'll specify message, milestone release 1.0.0. Okay, so that adds the tag into our local repository. We then need to push this up to the bit bucket origin.

 We do so by running the command git push origin --tags. Okay, so there it's completed. We've created our new tag, and it's now being pushed out to the bit bucket repository. So let's jump back into Bitbucket. Now if we look under Downloads, and we look at Tags, we'll see that we've got our tag. So this is the tag that we just created, it's for this Commit, and we can download in multiple formats, the entire release. So here, I'm going to click on zip, and I'm downloading a zipped archive of that particular release. Okay, so once that file has downloaded completely, we can jump into it, and in my downloads folder I have all of the source code, at that particular version. Okay, there completes this demonstration, go ahead and close it, and we'll see you in the next one.
