Glossary

Preview branch

A preview branch is a deploy generated from a pull request, building the site as it would be if the proposed changes were merged. Preview Branches are published to a URL that has the branch name as the prefix. For example, a Preview Branch for branchname will deploy to branchname.live.mrf.io and branchname.mrf.io

Media Group

An institution that owns one or several publications in the media industry.

Media Group Repository

Git repository containing the source code of a given Media Group. Mostly static files such as JavaScript, CSS, and images.

Media Group Deploy Repository

Git repository containing the artifacts generated by any given build in the Media Group Repo. Pushing changes to a branch in the Media Group Repo will automatically trigger a build that will generate artifacts in this repository.

Production Deploy

A deploy from the production branch. Marfeel has auto-publishing enabled, and the production branch is always master. This means that an update to what is published on the site’s main URL is triggered each time a change lands on master.
