Hello geeks! When programming rails I was very releaved having git at my site. And lately I was forced to deal with git sooner than expected Normaly I end deploying with this command, and of course before that I checked my local installation: cap deploy This time I had some trouble with my asset pipeline in production mode. Mainly because of the integration of russfrisch's html5 boilerplate. It took me a while to realize my mistake with rescuing my remote installation, because I was fixing my local system with this command: git log # look for hash git reset --hard *hash* # insert you hash where to go back to cap deploy # new deployment of old version Well, this did not work.......................... I forgot the fact my remote git system is used by capistrano to deploy, so I had to set that bare repository back too: git push --force origin *hash*:master # insert the same hash, see 'git log' ...
