4. Select `Edit new file`
5. Paste the above code into the bottom of the file

- ![Action](images/env.png)
### Explanation of steps
- This action is triggered by a `event` on your repo
- A docker image based on `mwienk/docker-lftp` is spun up on github servers
- The docker container compresses your code into a tar.gz file
- The file is then uploaded to the remote server
- The file is then un-zipped
### Debugging locally
###### Instructions for windows
- Install docker for windows
- Open powershell
- Navigate to the repo folder
- Run `docker build --tag action .`
- (Optional) This step is only required when editing entrypoint.sh due to windows editors saving the file with windows line breaks instead of linux line breaks
- Download http://dos2unix.sourceforge.net/
- In another powershell window nagivate to the dos2unix folder /bin
- Run this command every time you modify entrypoint.sh `.\dos2unix.exe "{FULL_PATH_TO_REPO\entrypoint.sh}"`
- Run `docker run action`
###### Instructions for linux
- Please submit a PR for linux instructions :)
### ToDo
- More config options
- Deploy Mode: ${DEPLOY_MODE} `full`|`diffs`
- SSH support
- Switch from lftp to git
