Capistrano::Scm::LocalGitUpload

Capistrano SCM Plugin for local git clone and upload.

This plugin firstly clones the git repository to the local host and thereafter uploads files on the local host to the remote servers.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'capistrano-scm-local_git_upload'

And execute:

$ bundle install

Add to Capfile:

require "capistrano/scm/local_git_upload"
install_plugin Capistrano::SCM::LocalGitUpload

The git repository is cloned to work_path (default: work) on the local host before deploy:started.

Then, files under upload_path (default: upload) on the local host are uploaded to release_path on the remote servers after deploy:new_release_path.

Therefore, you need to prepare upload_path using work_path files until deploy:new_release_path.

This is a simple copy example from work/public to upload/public.

namespace :sample_app do
  task :copy_to_upload do
    run_locally do
      execute :cp, '-pr', work_path.join('public'), upload_path
    end
  end
  before 'deploy:new_release_path', 'sample_app:copy_to_upload'
end
