# Sharing a Pear Application
|
|
|
|
Before releasing a Pear app to the public, it's possible to share it with others.
|
|
|
|
With Pear there are one single "release" (or "production") version of an app, and then many other named versions. Think of it, the same way that `git` use branches. Code is put into channels. This way others can test it, and when everything is ready, that branch is pulled into the release channel.
|
|
|
|
To share apps, stage them using `pear stage some-name`. This builds a new version of the app and puts them into the `some-name` channel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Step 1. Stage the app
|
|
|
|
Before sharing the app, first stage it into a channel called `example` (the name can be anything)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ pear stage example
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 2. Seed the app
|
|
|
|
After the app has been staged into the `example` channel, it now needs to be seeded. This is a way to signal that the app is now shared, so others can download and run it.
|
|
|
|
```$ pear seed example
|
|
|
|
🍐 Seeding: chat [ example ]
|
|
ctrl^c to stop & exit
|
|
|
|
-o-:-
|
|
pear:nykmkrpwgadcd8m9x5khhh43j9izj123eguzqg3ygta7yn1s379o
|
|
...
|
|
^_^ announced
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For now, keep this terminal open. As long as this process is running, your computer will help seed the application.
|
|
|
|
## Step 3. Run the app
|
|
|
|
In another terminal run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ pear run pear:nykmkrpwgadcd8m9x5khhh43j9izj123eguzqg3ygta7yn1s379o
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since the app is now being seeded, any one with the key (`pear:nykmk..`) can run the same app with `pear`.
|
|
|
|
So now try running the same command on another machine or giving the command to a friend to run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ pear run pear:nykmkrpwgadcd8m9x5khhh43j9izj123eguzqg3ygta7yn1s379o
|
|
```

The app is shared and others can now run it on their machines. To learn how a more production-ready setup would look like read [releasing a Pear App](./releasing-a-pear-app.md).
