Capistrano cheat sheet

Posted by jamis September 30, 2006 @ 07:01 PM

David Pettifer has created a compact Capistrano cheat sheet in PDF format. It summarizes helper methods, pre-defined variables, standard tasks, capfile syntax, standard release directory structure, and more. So go ahead, download it!

(For those arriving late to the party, Capistrano is a utility for executing commands in parallel on multiple remote hosts. You can read all about it in the Capistrano manual.)

    Capistrano is a utility for executing commands in parallel on multiple remote hosts.

    Does Capistrano really executes commands in parallel on multiple remost hosts?

    That makes it sounds like it is some type of system that allows you to run parallel tasks (i.e. map/reduce).

    What I think it was meant to say is that “Capistrano is a tool that makes deploying applications over multiple systems easy”.

    Capistrano takes a bit of getting used to, but it’s fantastic for rolling out. Makes it easy to roll back if necessary.

    I agree. A bit trickey at first, but it’s really an incredible utility. Nifty PDF, Thanks.
