Deploying locally

To deploy locally, execute npm run build:push. This will bundle up everything in the /src folder and push it to the Google App Script with the ID in your .clasp.json.

Deploying a static release

If you want to use a specific descriptor name, the script looks for RELEASE_NAME from the environment. If it is not set it will default to schedul8r. Running the following command will create a new deployment with the specific descriptor from above. If the deployment already exists then it will update the existing deployment with the latest code.

npm run deploy
