I'm new to this idea but i was just wondering if there is a way or tool to automate certain tasks before deploying my website. i would like to do the following tasks with one go:
Deployment automation is what enables you to deploy your software to testing and production environments with the push of a button. Automation is essential to reduce the risk of production deployments.
What does it mean to deploy a website? Deploying a website means that you are deploying changes you have made to your website, typically code, from source control to an environment (typically development, staging, or live).
What Is an Automated Deployment. Automated Deployment is a practice that allows you to ship code fully or semi-automatically across several stages of the development process - from initial development right through to production. It contributes to more efficient and reliable deployments.
Essentially, automated deployment is one aspect of DevOps wherein the steps that comprise a typical manual deployment process are laid out into one streamlined flow, which a computer can then execute without human intervention.
There's a whole slew of tools, frameworks and packages that deal with problems you described. In general, they fall into a category of build automation, so you might start with that.
Minification can be easily performed during a build process by a build server.
Deployment however is a huge topic in and of itself and there are various tools as well to aid you with Capistrano being seemingly the most popular one.
