Mina - deploy your app over a single SSH connection

Tools like Capistrano and Vlad have been popular for deploying applications to remote servers. Mina is a new entrant in the field that uses a single SSH session per server, cutting down on deploy time. Mina uses Rake and deploy routines are set up in config/deploy.rb:

require 'mina/git'

set :domain, 'your.server.com'
set :user, 'flipstack'
set :repository, 'flipstack'

task :deploy do
  deploy do
    # Preparations here
    invoke :'git:clone'
    invoke :'bundle:install'
  end
end

task :restart do
  queue 'sudo service restart apache'
end
