danielpietzsch / _revision_number.html.erb
Created May 18, 2010 23:26
A view partial you can include to display the first 8 chars of the deployed git commit. Capistrano creates the REVISION file. Maybe you need to adjust the relative path here, depending on where you store this partial.
<% number = File.read(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../../../REVISION").strip[0..7] if File.exists?(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../../../REVISION") %>
Commit: <%= number || "CURRENT" %>

# use the branch specified as a param, then use the current branch. If all fails use master branch
set :branch, ENV['branch'] || current_branch || "master" # you can use the 'branch' parameter on deployment to specify the branch you wish to deploy
