Cap2 different path to repos

Rails Deployment
1

Hi!

I read somewhere that in Cap2 you can set different URLs to repository
from local machine and remote server. Haven’t found out how to do it
yet, but I will…

I’m curious about something: why does Capistrano have to access the
repository from the local machine at all? I’m sure it’s something
obvious but I cannot see it yet. Can someone clarify?

thank you!

hmm - of course… to send the changes in my working copy to the
servers… I tried to change something then saying “cap deploy” and it
didn’t send the changes over. Then I tried “cap deploy:update_code” and
still nothing… please help me understand those basics.

Thank you!
David

not really… it’s something else… to ask it for the latest revision or
something… I don’t quite understand…

I found out that you have to manually do “svn commit”… that makes
sense…

for those interested in how to make different local and remote
repository paths, here is the explanation:

ok… I enjoyed this little monologue :slight_smile: but still… if someone feels
like adding something to this, be my guest!
