Caution

This operation is irreversible, so ensure you understand the implications before proceeding.

`acli push:files` will allow you to push the Cloud IDE files to any non-production Cloud Platform environment and target files directory.

    ide:~/project (master) $ acli push:files
    Using Cloud Application mydrupalapp
    
     Choose a Cloud Platform environment:
      [0] Dev, dev (vcs: pipelines-build-master)   [1] Stage, test (vcs: tags/2020-10-19)  > 1
    
     Choose a site:
      [0] default
     > 0
    
     Overwrite the public files directory on test with a copy of the files from the current machine? (yes/no) [yes]:
     > yes
