Settings

Migrations

If you are creating an app that doesn't have any migrations, e.g. an API client, you can ignore migrations by setting the following in your deploy.rb file:

set :run_migrations, false

Assets

If for some reason you do not want to run NPM & Grunt, e.g. you're on a Unilever server that won't resolve NPM requests, you can prevent them:

set :run_assets, false

This means even if a package.json or Gruntfile.js exist on the server, they will not be executed by their package manager.

You will probably want to set this if you are comitting compiled stylesheets to your repo, or uploading them in a compiled state.

Grunt

By default, the grunt task will be run when compiling CSS, etc. To alter the command that is run set the following:

set :grunt_cmd, "grunt task here"

This could be something like grunt:prod, or whatever you want it to be if it doesn't follow the normal practice.
