summary: The interface for extending the deployment process

type: class

body: 

This class can be subclassed to implement custom deployment methods.
Internally these are called “publishers” and to register them with the
environment the [add_publisher :ref](../environment/add-publisher/) method can
be used.

Publishers have one method called [publish :ref](publish/) which is used to
trigger the actual deployment process.  It also has a reference back to the
environment it belongs to as well as the output path of the build process.

For a minimal example of a publisher refer to the documentation of the
[publish :ref](publish/) method.
