capistrano/local_branch_check

This gem check local git branch before all Capistrano tasks, to prevents deployment in wrong branch (that branch may contain unexpected deploy configurations).

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'capistrano-local_branch_check'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install capistrano-local_branch_check

Add line below to Capifile.

require "capistrano/local_branch_check"

If local branch is equal to release branch, no configuration required. If local branch is differ from release branch, please set local_branch variable like below.

set :branch, "v2"
set :local_branch, "master"

When you run cap command (with stage name), checks local branch. And if it is wrong, prints message below and abort deployment.

    ================================================================================
    !!! Local branch `master` maybe wrong. Please `git checkout release`. !!!
    ================================================================================

If you want to skip check, please set skip_local_branch_check variable to true.

set :skip_local_branch_check, true
