Tasty Capistrano Cheatsheet Task

Peter, over at Tastydiff.com has created a very tasty capistrano task to make managing your production rails sites even easier, and he’s rolled in a terminal cheatsheet too.
Capistrano is an automated deployment tool, it works great with rails and a plugin called Deprec which makes it even more powerful, allowing you to set up a server with a full rails stack in as little as 8 commands (see this blogpost).
To use peter’s task you need to go over to this blog post: Tastydiff.com/2007/7/15/capistrano_mini_cheatsheet and copy the whole section of code into the bottom of your deploy.rb file in the config directory of your rails app.
Then in the terminal just hit:
cap cheat
And you’ll get a mini cheat sheet with all the most useful commands plus a extras added by peter, awesome!
