Deadlier and simpler Rails deployment
Tired of SSH-ing by hand? Is Capistrano overkill? Here’s how I use git push to deploy.

Pretty cool. I do something similar but more generic. I have a script/deploy script that does a git push, then it connects via SSH to my remote server and does a git pull and touches the restart file. It’s almost a one-liner!
Of course, Capistrano gives you easy rollbacks and so forth, but I figure if you ever need to rollback a remote deploy, you haven’t tested it properly and you should probably be getting in there manually anyway..
An interesting idea! Thanks. Good point about getting in there manually anyway if stuff goes wrong, Peter.
