cf: Push an app using the default settings.
$ cf push ${app_name}
try on your machine

The command cf push ${app_name} is used to deploy an application to a cloud platform using the Cloud Foundry (CF) command line interface (CLI).

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • cf: This is the command for the Cloud Foundry CLI. It is used to interact with the Cloud Foundry platform.
  • push: This is the command to push an application to the cloud platform.
  • ${app_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the application that you want to push to the platform. The actual name of the application should be provided in place of ${app_name}.

When running the command, you need to replace ${app_name} with the actual name of your application. This command will package your application's code along with any additional files, dependencies, and configuration specified in the application manifest file (usually manifest.yml) and upload it to the Cloud Foundry platform. The platform will then create a container and run your application.

It's important to note that you need to be logged in to the Cloud Foundry platform and have the necessary permissions to push applications. Additionally, you may need to specify other options and flags along with the cf push command depending on your specific requirements.
