Create an environment

An environment can be created in one of two ways:

• Pushing a local branch through Git or a source integration.
• Branch an existing environment using the CLI or the Console.

When you branch an environment, you might want to create exact replicas of it. In this case, each new environment inherits all of the data and services from its parent environment. This includes databases, network storage, queues, and routing configurations.

You can create Upsun environments on demand. Each environment is tied to a Git branch. If you use a source integration, you can even have environments created automatically for your pull requests and branches.
