Better local require() paths for Node.js

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

Getting the Alexa top 1 million sites directly from the server, unzipping it, parsing the csv and getting each line as an array.
var request = require('request');
var unzip = require('unzip');
var csv2 = require('csv2');
request.get('http://s3.amazonaws.com/alexa-static/top-1m.csv.zip')
.pipe(unzip.Parse())
.on('entry', function (entry) {
entry.pipe(csv2()).on('data', console.log);
})

Capistrano deployment script for Laravel 4
# Capistrano Laravel 4 Deployment Tasks
# Watts Martin (layotl at gmail com)
# https://gist.github.com/chipotle/5506641
# updated 14-Aug-2013
# Assumptions:
#
# - You are using a .gitignore similar to Laravel's default, so your
# vendor directory and composer(.phar) are *not* under version control
# - Composer is installed as an executable at /usr/local/bin/composer
