Capistrano::GitCopy

Creates a tar archive locally from the git repository and uploads it to the remote server.

Setup

Add the library to your Gemfile:

group :development do
  gem 'capistrano-git-copy', require: false
end

And require it in your Capfile:

require 'capistrano/git_copy'

Now use git_copy as your SCM type in your config/deploy.rb:

set :scm, :git_copy

By default, it includes all submodules into the deployment package. However, if they are not needed in a particular deployment, you can disable them with a configuration option:

set :with_submodules, false

Besides using export-ignore in .gitattributes it's possible exclude files and directories by adding them to git_excludes:

set :git_excludes, %w(config/database.yml.example test rspec)

Notes

• Uses git-archive-all for bundling repositories.
