capistrano-linked-files
This is a ruby gem that provides Capistrano 3.1 reciepes to upload linked files
and directories. It’s quite useful for files such as config/database.yml and
config/secret.yml, which are usually ignored (at least they should be) from
version control systems.
Linked files and directories are placed in the shared directory on the remote
servers, and kept between deployments. After a new deployment, a symlink is
created from the shared directory to the current directory.
This project was inspired by damselem’s
capistrano-shared-files
, but
capistrano-linked-files uses the “built in” Capistrano configuration variables
linked_files and linked_dirs instead of custom ones. This way it’s not
necessary to specify the linked files twice.
