Capistrano deploy fails after I changed the repository URL

Question

I have a simple deployment via capistrano from a Git repository. At first I was deploying form GitHub, everything worked just fine. But then I moved my repository to BitBucket a

Answer 1

I solved this with the following in deploy.rb:

namespace :deploy do
  task :cope_with_git_repo_relocation do
    run "if [ -d #{shared_path}/cached-copy ]; then cd #{shared_path}/cached-copy && git remote set-url origin #{repository}; else true; fi"
  end
end
before "deploy:update_code", "deploy:cope_with_git_repo_relocation"

It makes deploys a little slower, so it's worth removing once you're comfortable that all your deploy targets have caught up.
