My latest capistrano deploy.rb file using a deploy_via :copy

This is the approach I’ve been taking to my smaller sites that I just work on myself. I keep the site locally gitified on my computer and avoid posting to github.

It makes things super simple for those sole freelance projects, and as long as you keep your computer backed up you’re fine.

Just change lines 1,11,12,13,29, and 40.
