Notify github issues when you deploy from master

gistfile1.rb

# To do this, we call this from the deployment rake task:
  DEPLOY_TAG = 'last-deploy'
 # Tag & comment new issues that have been deployed
  previous_deploy, current_deploy, issues = deploy_issues

#which calls this method:

def deploy_issues
  update_branch('master')
  
  `git tag -d #{DEPLOY_TAG}`
  `git fetch origin tag #{DEPLOY_TAG}`
  
  issues          = []
  previous_deploy = `git rev-parse #{DEPLOY_TAG}`.strip
  current_deploy  = `git rev-parse HEAD`.strip
  deploy_message  = "Deployed on #{Time.now.strftime('%m/%d/%Y at %r')}"
  
  `git tag -f -a -m '#{deploy_message}' #{DEPLOY_TAG} #{current_deploy}`
  `git push --tags`
  
  logs = `git log --pretty=oneline #{previous_deploy}..#{current_deploy}`.split("\n")
  logs.each do |log|
    if m = log.match(/(\w*).*fix(es)?\s*#(\d+)/i)
      issues << m[3]
    end
  end
  
  Rake::Task["github:deploy_issues"].invoke(issues.uniq.join(','), deploy_message) if issues.present?
  
  [previous_deploy, current_deploy, issues]
end

#which calls this rake task:


  desc "Deploy issues"
  task :deploy_issues, :issues, :message, :needs => :environment do |t, args|
    issues  = args[:issues].split(',')
    message = args[:message]
