Explain noob how deploy with 'capistrano' through :git

Rails
#1

I have vpn server (ubuntu10 + .rvm + ror + nginx + passenger +
unicorn).

Questions:

  1. How to deploy in first time with capistrano through git, if I don’t
    have project on the server (just empty project folder)?
  2. Should I have project on my local machine to deploy on the server
    machine thought git?

And if you have working config/deploy.rb.
Please, post it here.
Thanks for help.

There’s a task for this, something like deploy:setup

Well at the very least you’ll need your app’s deploy.rb. Capistrano
won’t touch your rails app yourself. On one app I work on the deploy
scripts are in a separate repository - I could deploy the app without
having the application itself checked out
