Is it possible to deploy with named feature branch?

The work flow would be this (git flow):

If we create a feature branch: feature/awesome
We want to deploy the web project to WebServer/awesome
and when we close the feature branch (merge back to develop)
WebServer/awesome will get destroyed.

The same with windows services.

Thanks.

   I assume you use Deployment Agent.

   So, awesome is the name of web app (virtual directory) on WebServer, right?

   I think this is possible (except destroying part).

   First, you can pass application name in environment variable to have something like:

   <deployable-artifact>.application_name = $(application_name)
   

   where application_name is your custom environment variable set during the build process.

   Next, there is APPVEYOR_REPO_BRANCH variable carrying on branch name. You can use PowerShell to strip awesome part and put it into application_name.

   For services you can alter service_name in the same way.

   Re: destroying on closing branch - we should think how/when to better do it - any ideas are welcome.
