Hi @karlfreeman,

I'd like to start deploying my site in a two-stage process: First to a staging server for others within my organization to review, and then to a production server. Do you have any suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks!

Looking over middleman the concept of 'environments' doesn't exist ( its used more like what middleman is doing ) which would lead me to look at doing this within the config.rb. Perhaps @tdreyno has some thoughts but I havent looked in to it myself.

Would simply changing some of middleman-sync options be enough for your needs? ( eg changing the fog directory per environment )

drewda commented

Yes, being able to specify the fog directory per environment would be great.

Thanks for considering this!

I usually use ENV variable for different deploy targets.

TARGET=staging middleman build

Then use ENV['TARGET'] in my code.

Much better solution. Thanks for the input.
