All environments default to having another environment as their parent. If you branched the environment from another, its parent starts as the environment it was created from. If you pushed a branch through Git or a source integration, the parent defaults to the default environment.
To change the environment’s parent, follow these steps:
- Select the project where you want to change the parent.
- From the Environment menu, select the environment you want to change.
- Click Settings.
- In the row with the environment’s name, click Edit .
- Select a Parent environment.
- Click Save.
Run the following command:
upsun environment:info -e <CHILD_ENVIRONMENT_NAME> parent <PARENT_ENVIRONMENT_NAME>So if you have the environment new-feature and want to change its parent to main, run the following:
upsun environment:info -e new-feature parent mainIf you’re not using a source integration, you can also set a parent for your environment when pushing changes to it. To do so, run the following command:
git push -o "environment.parent=PARENT_ENVIRONMENT_NAME"Learn more about how to trigger actions on push.
