I use git in my Ruby on Rails applications. On my deployment server there is a git directory that I push to in the admin users directory. When I run cap deploy Capistrano makes a new release and makes a new directory under releases from the repository, I guess this is standard. My releases are getting bigger and bigger, it takes longer and longer time for the cap deploy command to finish and the backups contain a huge number of files. What puzzels me is that in every release there is a .git directory. As far as I can see it makes no use there, just takes up much space. Is it supposed to be like this or have I made a mess? How can I get rid of the .git directory in the deployment releases? :-) j ``` ## Drew Northup, 2010-10-21 12:39 Subject: Re: git repository in production release Message-ID: <1287664757.24161.17.camel@drew-northup.unet.maine.edu> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1287664757.24161.17.camel%40drew-northup.unet.maine.edu In-Reply-To: ``` On Thu, 2010-10-21 at 12:13 +0000, Jonas wrote: > Hi, > > I am afraid this is a rather stupid question, but I have spent quite some time > to figure it out without any success. > > I use git in my Ruby on Rails applications.

Why is this a git problem and not a Capistrano problem? -- -Drew Northup ________________________________________________ "As opposed to vegetable or mineral error?" -John Pescatore, SANS NewsBites Vol. 12 Num. 59 ``` ## Jonas, 2010-10-21 14:03 Subject: Re: git repository in production release Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/loom.20101021T160058-462%40post.gmane.org In-Reply-To: <1287664757.24161.17.camel@drew-northup.unet.maine.edu> ``` Because I suspect that the local .git directory in my rails application folder should not be added to the remote repository at all. But I might be wrong. ``` ## Enrico Weigelt, 2010-10-21 19:07 Subject: Re: git repository in production release Message-ID: <20101021190755.GD28700@nibiru.local> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20101021190755.GD28700%40nibiru.local In-Reply-To: ``` * Jonas wrote: > Because I suspect that the local .git directory in my rails application > folder should not be added to the > remote repository at all. But I might be wrong. Your repository (aka: the committed trees inside it) contain a .git directory ? That's very strange, should not happen in normal git operations (would cause some infinite recursion ;-o). Seems that something's wrong w/ Capistrano - most likely not a problem of git itself. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ```
