The other day I read a blog post from @defunkt about cleaning up the deployment strategy at GitHub. He explained, including some example code, how they had created a git based deployment strategy for Capistrano. He also mentioned that this new strategy was MUCH MUCH faster than the typical git deployment.

I happened to be prepping an app for deployment and decided I would try out this new strategy. I ran into a few issues where the examples given weren’t namespaced properly to work right out of the box for me. I also decided to make a few changes for my needs. In the end I have a new favorite deployment strategy that can deploy this specific app in around 3 seconds which is AMAZING! Read the original post for an in depth explanation of how it all works, or just grab this deploy.rb and have at it.
