cd(string $path)Sets the working path for the following run functions. Every task restores the working path to the base working path at the beginning of the task.
runLocally(string $command)Runs a command on your local machine.
upload(string $file, string $uploadFile)Upload a file from your machine to your deployment machine You can use environment in both $file and $uploadFile - meaning you can type something like this
upload('.deploy/parameters.{{env}}.yml', '{{release_path}}/app/config/parameters.yml');
Which will be translated to something like this
upload('.deploy/parameters.dev.yml', '/var/www/release/current/app/config/parameters.yml');
