What is Publishing?

APIGit supports publishing a Mock Server from a specific SHA, which means taking that commit as a snapshot to deploy a mock server in APIGIT cloud sandbox:

• a live mock server will be deployed in a APIGIT cloud sandbox.
• the mock server will be powered by express.js, and the mock scripts (main.js) at this SHA(snapshot) will be loaded to run inside a docker.
• a unique mock server url will be generated for you to access this mockserver.

You can create multiple publishes, while each publish will deploy a sepeate mockserver in the cloud, each pointing to a different SHA (snapshot).
