replace “sub” and “sub1″ with your test subdomains (if you even need subdomains). Add as many as you like. unfortunately you cannot have wildcards in /etc/hosts so you have to list all your test subdomains.

set :run_method, :run

It stops asking for sudo passwords by default. This what my current app looks like:

set :application, "myrailsapp"
set :user, 'deploy'
set :scm, :git
set :run_method, :run
set :ssh_options, { :forward_agent => true }
set :repository, "git@XXXX.com:blahblah/#{application}.git"
set :deploy_via, :remote_cache
set :deploy_to, "/var/apps/#{application}"

I added the key to the agent. Of course that means I have to type “exec ssh-agent bash” every time I go the the shell now, for whatever stupid reason. It’s not clear. I can’t find out why, anywhere, I have to do that now.

But even when I do that, Capistrano FORCES me to put in the stupid password. God, I am SO MAD. It’s always the stupidest things that take the longest. 2 hours now, how ridiculous.

Nice work overall with the script. It really helps git noobies like myself make the transition over to git from svn + piston. Your solution definitely looks to be the cleanest and simplest.

The best thing about it is I can see exactly what commands you are issuing to git so in time, when my git knowledge starts to expand, I’ll actually be able to understand what the hell is going on! In the mean time I can just be content that it all works as advertised.

Cheers!

p.s I know this is a sake issue but you might be able to help - is it possible to tell sake to update the script? At the moment I’m removing the tasks one by one and then reinstalling the script. Is there a cleaner way to do this? I’ve checked sake –help and nothing jumped out at me.

Good catch - I had changed the name of a task but not corrected the example usage. I have changed it to be correct now. I also added another task for looking at the diff of the remote vs what’s been previously integrated.
