doctl-apps: Update a specific app with a given app spec.

try on your machine

This command is used to update an application in DigitalOcean's App Platform. Let's break down the components of the command:

  • doctl: It is the command-line interface (CLI) tool for managing DigitalOcean resources.
  • apps: It represents the DigitalOcean App Platform, which allows you to deploy and manage your applications without worrying about infrastructure.
  • update: It is the action you want to perform on the application, which is an update in this case.
  • ${app_id}: It is a placeholder for the unique identifier of the application you want to update. You need to replace ${app_id} with the actual ID of the application.
  • --spec: It is a flag that indicates you want to update the application's specification.
  • ${path-to-spec-yml}: It is a placeholder for the path to the YAML file that contains the updated specification for the application. You need to replace ${path-to-spec-yml} with the actual path to the file on your computer.

In summary, this command is used to update the specification of a DigitalOcean App Platform application by providing a YAML file containing the updated specification.
