DeployHQ connects to your Git repository and listens for changes. When you push, DeployHQ runs your build commands (Composer, Webpack, Gulp, etc.) in an isolated environment and uploads the compiled files to your server via FTP, SFTP, or SSH. Compiled assets never need to live in your repository. ### Can I run build commands like npm or Composer before deploying? Yes. DeployHQ has a built-in build pipeline that runs your commands in a secure, isolated environment before deployment. You can run Composer install, npm run build, Gulp, Webpack, or any other build tool. You can also choose which versions of PHP, Node.js, Ruby, Go, and other runtimes to use. ### What server types are supported for WordPress? DeployHQ supports FTP, FTPS, SFTP, and SSH for WordPress deployments, making it compatible with shared hosting, managed WordPress hosts, VPS servers, and cloud providers. You can also deploy to AWS S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, and other cloud storage targets. ## Ready to automate your WordPress deployments?
