Capistrano 3 :copy

A copy strategy for Capistrano 3, which mimics the :copy scm of Capistrano 2. This Gem is inspired by and based on https://github.com/wercker/capistrano-scm-copy. Thank wercker so much.

This will make Capistrano tar the a specific git branch, upload it to the server(s) and then extract it in the release directory.

Usage

cap uat deploy -s branch=(your release branch)
