Having the ability to send a site live with a single command is heaven and not a BASH script with a bunch of moving parts liable to break. This command takes me back to the old days when putting a site live meant an FTP upload command to a server letting Apache take care of the rest. This site, for example, is hosted in an AWS S3 bucket that is connected to AWS CloudFront.
