I'm using github to store the repository, and I'm reading Deploy with Capistrano : Remote caching will keep a local git repo on the server you’re deploying to and simply run a fetch from that rather than an entire clone".

How do you manage config changes for each of your environments? Can someone point me to some good resources for continous integration. I'd like to see some theory as well as a step by step practical guide. Edit: I'm in need to automated a web deployment right now; however, I'd also like to learn how to do this for desktop apps.
