Sample Fabric 'fabfile' for deploying to multiple hosts. Using: `fab deploy stage` or `fab deploy live`. Deploy to live prompts the user to confirm (with 'y' or 'n') that they actually want to deploy. Deploy tasks runs git pull & any number of utility commands (eg. asset compilation, checking / fixing folder permissions etc).

from fabric.api import env, local, settings, abort, run, cd, sudo
from fabric.contrib.console import confirm

# Hosts
def stage():
  env.user = 'deploy_user'
  env.hosts = ['xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:22']
  global code_dir
  code_dir = '/var/www/stage.website.com' # no trailing slash

def live():
  if confirm('Are you sure you want to deploy to live?'):
    env.user = 'deploy_user'
    env.hosts = ['xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:22']
    global code_dir
    code_dir = '/var/www/website.com' # no trailing slash
  else: 
    abort('Aborting, not deploying to live')

# Tasks
def deploy():
  with cd(code_dir):
    # reset any local changes & grab the latest version
    run('git reset --hard HEAD')
    run('git pull')
    # compile css
    run('sass --style compressed --update sass/global.scss:css/style.css')
    # minify app.js
    run('php -f inc/jsmin.php')
