How do I get the same branch pushed to multiple apps? I’ve got 3 labels in the deployment section (ci, staging, prod), all pushing a master branch (to a heroku app) The problem is, only the first one (ci) gets executed i.e. [https://monosnap.com/file/e0eKZoKl9ut5rB6dx4OKw3soqacr2y](https://monosnap.com/file/e0eKZoKl9ut5rB6dx4OKw3soqacr2y) My circle.yml looks like this ``` deployment: ci: branch: master commands: - "[[! -s \"$(git rev-parse --git-dir)/shallow\"]] || git fetch --unshallow" - git push git@heroku.com:ff-api-ci.git $CIRCLE_SHA1:refs/heads/master --force 2>&1 staging: branch: master commands: # Manually fetch full repo - "[[! -s \"$(git rev-parse --git-dir)/shallow\"]] || git fetch --unshallow" - git push git@heroku.com:ff-api-staging.git $CIRCLE_SHA1:refs/heads/master --force 2>&1 prod: branch: master commands: # Manually fetch full repo - "[[! -s \"$(git rev-parse --git-dir)/shallow\"]] || git fetch --unshallow" - git push git@heroku.com:ff-api-prod.git $CIRCLE_SHA1:refs/heads/master --force 2>&1 ``` ---

I see the same thing - see this on CircleCI at the top of the build: ``` There are multiple applicable deployment sections! Using 'production'. ``` when I have both a ‘production’ and ‘staging’ off of branch:master We are going to have multiple ‘production’ apps from the same codebase and we will need a way to deploy to both apps. Any workaround (have one deployment kick off another?) much appreciated! ---

have you tried deploying with version release tags, prefixed with an `app-id` vs trying to deploy from a branch … ? going through the same process now, figured having multiple `develop`, `stage`, `prod` branches would be an inherent nightmare (to my already existing disgust of a reality…) , and that having one branch across all apps, but tagging releases for different commits per `app-id` to be a simpler solution, so far so good . ---

I’ve run into this issue as well. I would like to continue deploying my app to heroku when the master branch builds, but also start to publish a static site for the component library for this app to GitHub Pages, also limited to only the master branch. The deployment section seems like the appropriate place to manage this, with the available multiple subsections. The only detail in the documentation that seems to suggest that my approach is not appropriate is the following: > In instances of multiple branches, the first one that matches the branch being built is the one that is run. Since it seems like this is an intentional limitation, are there other options? I attempted to do the deploy to GitHub Pages as a `post` step under `test`, but I could not figure out how to limit it to only deploy when building the master branch. ---

I ran into the same problem. I really don’t understand why this behaviour would be limited on purpose. ---

Hey. I figured it out. You can have one deployment section which can include multiple deploys. ``` deployment: demo_and_countyportal: branch: puma-on-heroku commands: - git push git@heroku.com:gcfdemo.git $CIRCLE_SHA1:master - heroku run rake db:migrate --app gcfdemo - git push git@heroku.com:gcfcountyportal.git $CIRCLE_SHA1:master - heroku run rake db:migrate --app gcfcountyportal ``` ---
