@liviucmg thanks i added your script directly in my deploy.rb and it works perfectly !

check out this gem: https://github.com/ekho/capistrano-git-submodule-strategy

Thank you. After deployed I found I 'cd' to the directory of submodule and found that 'git branch' point to no branch. So I have to add another task to force it checkout to master branch. Any ideas?

 desc 'Checkout master'
  task :checkout_master do
      on roles(:app) do |host|
          within current_path do
              execute "cd #{app_path}/current/public/pages && git checkout master && cd ../../"
          end
      end
  end
