## Deploying Changes
Merge the PR to main. The changes will appear in the next major Terraform release.
If you need your changes to be deployed sooner, cherry-pick them to:
- the current release branch (e.g. `v1.0`) and push. They will be deployed in the next minor version release (once every two weeks).
- the `stable-website` branch and push. They will be included in the next site deploy (see below). Note that the release process resets `stable-website` to match the release tag, removing any additional commits. So, we recommend always cherry-picking to the version branch first and then to `stable-website` when needed.
### Deployment
The [terraform.io][] site gets deployed by a CI job, currently managed by CircleCI. This job can be run manually by many people within HashiCorp, and also runs automatically whenever a user in the HashiCorp GitHub org merges changes to master in the `terraform-website` repository.
New commits in this repository don't automatically deploy the [terraform.io][] site, but an unrelated site deploy will usually happen within a day. If you can't wait that long, you can do a manual CircleCI build or ask someone in the #proj-terraform-docs channel to do so:
- Log in to circleci.com, and make sure you're viewing the HashiCorp organization.
- Go to the terraform-website project's list of workflows.
- Find the most recent "website-deploy" workflow, and click the "Rerun workflow from start" button (which looks like a refresh button with a numeral "1" inside).
