Is it possible for DigitalOcean Apps to target commits or tags?

Hello,

I’m setting up a production environment using DigitalOcean Apps and I was wondering if it was possible to target a git tag or specific commit in the spec?

Something like so, since tags are branch-like when considering git.

  github:
    branch: v1.0.4
    repo: MyOrg/myrepo

But when trying I get a

Error: PUT https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/apps/[app-id]: 404 Git branch not found

Is there any way (even undocumented) to target a tag (or if possible, a specific commit on a branch, like main@abcdef94739)?

Thanks, Mathieu

Hello @otak

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to deploy based on the specific commit or git tags.
