Local Asset Precompilation with Capistrano and AssetSync
#
# = Capistrano Assets recipe
#
# Provides a couple of tasks for precompiling assets locally
# Assumes usage of AssetSync to deploy to CloudProvider or CDN
#
# Inspired by http://www.rostamizadeh.net/blog/2012/04/14/precompiling-assets-locally-for-capistrano-deployment

Sync assets to the cloud via Asset Sync. Must be run remotely(so it pulls remote aws credentials)
and after code is deployed so it gets proper asset manifest to sync
