Feature Request Cloning stuff from one environment to another to minimise double handling

Hey @Brogan89, thanks so much for the suggestion. This is definitely something we identify as a pain point and something we hope to improve.

 

Hi @Brogan89,

We actually have 2 live solutions that will help you with CloudCode and RemoteConfig if you use it.

The first is the DeploymentWIndow: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.services.deployment@1.0/manual/index.html
This not only allows you to create and deploy CloudCode JS files straight from the editor, but you have a simple dropdown that allows you to just change environments, and you can then deploy any of the same files to the next environment.

The second is the CLI : https://services.docs.unity.com/guides/ugs-cli/latest/general/base-commands/deploy/ .

Not only can you perform the same deployment operations you can in the deployment window, it also allows you to automate them. Additionally, it has access to some of the dashboard's backing APIs, so you can automate other parts of your process.

As to why this isn't a button in the dashboard, by having the files directly in your repository, you can leverage things like version control (so you can to rollback, if things go south). Your CloudCode can also be versioned with your client code. You can also do diffing and auditing (your peers can review your changes to mitigate things going south), and for things like CloudCode, you can even set up JS unit tests that you can run directly from the editor.

Additionally, it enables advanced workflows such as "bundling" so you can re-use code from different JS files, which was also an often requested feature, much more easily and intuitively than it could be in the dashboard.

For more details on the CloudCode part, you can look at this.

I'm painfully aware this is a problem that should also be covered by other services, but I can say nothing else on the matter at this moment. When I can, I will get back to you !

@Brogan89 ,
The [CLI](https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/unity-gaming-services-cli/) now supports Leaderboards deploy

You can create a leaderboards file with

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. ugs lb new-file
3. // and deploy it to any environment with
4. ugs deploy new_file.lb -e myEnv
5.
