I was tasked with moving a CakePHP based site from Dreamhost to a Grid Server at MediaTemple, and while doing so thought it would be a good time to get the site into Git and deploy with Capistrano. Turned out to be a little bit of headache. Last night I was finally able to complete a recipe that would deploy the site to the Grid Server (gs). It required a few directory changes and symlinks put in place, but it works now. The process for deploying a Rails site to a (gs) container is pretty well documented, but deploying a non-Rails site to a domain directory on the Grid Servers is not. Hopefully this helps others. I’m not sure how common it is in the PHP world to deploy a site using Capistrano.

Scott Chacon has posted an entry using the new Github pages on how to edit commit messages in Git. Really handy and not necessarily the most intuitive thing. Great to have instruction. schacon FTW!

By the way, the new Jeckyll based Github pages are sweet for developers working on open source projects.

Changing Git History.

I recently ran into a submodules issue when trying to deploy a git repo via capistrano. Now have some understanding of git submodules. Defunkt makes it even easier to understand and use submodules with this little write up:
