Capistrano Confirm Branch

Requires confirmation before switching deployed branches using capistrano and warns when deploying with unpushed changes.

Usage

Install the gem using rubygems:

$ gem install capistrano_confirm_branch

or add it to your Gemfile and run bundle install

gem 'capistrano_confirm_branch'

Then in your Capfile add require 'capistrano/confirm_branch' and you will be asked to confirm changing branches before each deploy.

Configuration options

By default capistrano_confirm_branch will warn when changing branches AND when there are unpushed git commits. You can opt out of either warning by setting the following options:

# config/deploy.rb

# Turn off unpushed git commit check
set :check_unpushed_commits_before_deploy, false

# Turn off branch change warning
set :confirm_branch_before_deploy, false

Bonus

To deploy from the current working branch, use this in your capistrano recipe:

set :branch, $1 if `git branch` =~ /\* (\S+)\s/m
