Hi, I want to deploy a release on github every time I push a tag on master. I set up the relevant `deploy` parts in .travis.yml, but whenever I push a tag using:

```bash
git tag -a v0.1.0.check_deploy
git push --tags

```

Nothing noticeable happens. I checked the build list but couldn’t find any new builds. This problem is very difficult for me to debug because I can’t find any logs that explain what happens (or what doesn’t happen).

I also tried to open test branches and put tags on those branches, but no luck there too: nothing noticeable happens.

The repository (freedomlayer/offst) moved at some point to [travis-ci.com](http://travis-ci.com), although it is a public repository. Could this be related to the issue?

My .travis.yml file could be [found here](https://github.com/freedomlayer/offst/blob/cd2e599078a1e0e0e59408e4dd2a2277d29fdc38/.travis.yml). I include here what I believe to be the relevant part, but I might be wrong, and it could be that something else in the .travis.yml file causes the issue.

```auto
before_deploy: travis/before_deploy.sh
deploy:
  provider: releases
  api_key:
    secure: [omitted]
  file: $HOME/deployment/${PROJECT_NAME}-${TRAVIS_TAG}-${TARGET}.tar.gz
  skip_cleanup: true
  on:
    tags: true
    repo: freedomlayer/offst
    branch: master
branches:
  only:
    # Pushes and PR to the master branch
    - master
    # Ruby regex to match tags. Required, or travis won't trigger deploys when
    # a new tag is pushed. Version tags should be of the form: v0.1.0
- /^v\d+\.\d+\.\d+.*$/

```

Any help is appreciated!

Sorry for the troubles you are running into!

Looking at [your latest build requests](https://travis-ci.com/freedomlayer/offst/requests) it seems “push” builds are disabled on your repository which might explain the issue here.

Could you try to re-enable them [in your repository settings](https://travis-ci.com/freedomlayer/offst/settings) and push a new tag to see if it helps?

@dominic: Thanks, it worked! I think I would have never came up with that solution myself.  
What an adventure, I dedicate you my first ever travis release: [https://github.com/freedomlayer/offst/releases/](https://github.com/freedomlayer/offst/releases/)

Glad to hear it, @realcr, and thanks for the honor!
