Promoting a build is a way of preparing the build for eventual release. There are three different types of build promotion:
Moving the artifacts and dependencies to a target repository and setting certain properties
Copying the artifacts and dependencies to a target repository and setting certain properties
Changing the status of the build without copying or moving its contents
Build Promotion using the REST API
You can promote a build using the Build Promotion REST API.
Build Promotion using the JFrog CLI
You can also use the JFrog CLI to promote builds, as described here.
Note
By default, build promotion triggers the automatic creation of a Release Bundle v2 version from the build. Evidence about the promotion is attached to the Release Bundle. For more information, see Release Bundle v2 Auto-Creation.
