How to Configure Capistrano to Deploy from Local Git Repository?

Question

What changes do I need to make to the deploy.rb file below to make it deploy my app from a local git repo? If I can\'t deploy from a local repo, can I have capistra

Answer 1

Capistrano 3 solution which is running for me:

  before :deploy, :deploy_from_local_repo

  task :deploy_from_local_repo do
    set :repo_url,  "file:///tmp/.git"
    run_locally do
      execute "tar -zcvf /tmp/repo.tgz .git"
    end
    on roles(:all) do
      upload! '/tmp/repo.tgz', '/tmp/repo.tgz'
      execute 'tar -zxvf /tmp/repo.tgz -C /tmp'
    end
  end

Before deploying you are uploading a tar.gz file to the server, unzip and finally reset the :repo_url to file mode.

Take care to remove the pervious repo:

task :remove_repo do
  on roles(:all) do
    execute "rm -r #{repo_path}"
  end
end
