Answer 2

Here's the Capistrano 3 version of what this answer talks about. It might be tedious to do what the answer suggests on each server.

So drop this in deploy.rb and then run cap <environment> deploy:fix_repo_origin

namespace :deploy do
  desc 'Fix repo origin, for use when changing git repo URLs'
  task :fix_repo_origin do
    on roles(:web) do
      within repo_path do
        execute(:git, "remote set-url origin #{repo_url}")
      end
    end
  end
end

Answer 3

Capistrano 2.X

Delete and re-clone the repo using the new address:

cd $deploy_to/shared
rm -rf cached-copy
git clone ssh://git@example.org/new/repo.git cached-copy

Modify your config/deploy.rb to use the new repo:

set :repository, "ssh://git@example.org/new/repo.git"
set :scm, :git
set :deploy_via, :remote_cache

Deploy again:

cap deploy

Capistrano 3.X

1. Remove the $deploy_to/repo directory
2. Modify your config/deploy.rb (same as 2.X)
3. cap deploy

Answer 4

You need to change git origin in your /shared/cached-copy folder

cd /var/www/your-project/production/shared/cached-copy
git remote remove origin
git remote add origin git@bitbucket.org:/origin.git

try cap production deploy

Answer 5

The most simple way is just changing the repo url to the new one in .git/config in the shared/cached-copy directory on the webserver. Then you can do a normal deploy as usual.
