How do I target a specific commit SHA with capistrano deploy

Question

I am wondering how I can target a specific commit SHA in Git for deployment, using Capistrano? It should be something like

cap deploy --version=

        

Answer 1

molf's answer didn't work for me (using capistrano 2.11.2). I had to use "revision" instead of branch, like this:

cap -S revision=80655da8d80aaaf92ce5357e7828dc09adb00993 deploy
