Multi Stage Capistrano Deployment Workflow for your development team

git-branch-capistrano-workflow.sh

# Everyone should be committing to master, or to their own respective feature branches.
# When it comes time to deploy, you should do the following:

# check out the staging branch
git checkout staging

# sync up with whatever is currently there
git pull origin staging

# merge your master branch into staging
# if you would like to cherry pick certain commits, you can do that here as well
git merge master

# push the current staging HEAD to github
git push origin staging

# deploy the latest staging branch to your staging environment
bundle exec cap staging deploy

# Let the suits, your QA team, your tech lead, your mom, whoever, sign off on the 
# quality of the staging server release. Then when it comes time to make a production deployment...

# check out production
git checkout production

# sync up
git pull origin production

# merge in your staging branch ( or master, if you want to skip the staging step )
git merge staging

# push to the latest production remote
git push origin production

# deploy the latest remote
bundle exec cap production deploy


# BOOOM
