How can I automate "firebase deploy"?

Question

Is there any way I can automate my "firebase deploy" pushes to Firebase Hosting using a script? I can't seem to figure out how to do this.

Thanks.

Here's a couple different approaches:

Firebase's own David East on how to do it with Travis and GitHub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLVzozWDYAs

I took an alternate approach, since my automation tool is written in java.

• firebase CLI installed in the bash shell, previous to launching my java binary.
• [deploy.sh] shell script runs "firebase deploy" command.
• java binary has internal code to run the [deploy.sh] script.

Bottom line - no matter what your automation binary is written in, as long as it can shell out and run your [deploy.sh] script in the same shell that firebase is installed in, you should be good to go.
