Capistrano strategy for checking out git projects locally rather than on deployment destination machine

git_local.rb

module LocalGitStrategy
  def test
    run_locally do
      test " [ -f #{repo_path}/.git/HEAD ] "
    end
  end

  def check
    run_locally do
      execute :git, :'ls-remote --heads', repo_url
    end
  end

    run_locally do
      execute :git, :clone,  repo_url, repo_path
    end
  end

  def update
    run_locally do
      within repo_path do
        execute :git, :remote, :update
      end
    end
  end

  def release
    # no op
  end

  def fetch_revision
    run_locally do
      within repo_path do
        capture(:git, :'rev-list', '--max-count=1', :'--abbrev-commit', "#{fetch(:branch)}")
      end
