Capistrano + Rails: Tagging production deploys

Posted . Visible to the public.

Just like Ruby Gems tag their version releases to the corresponding Git commit, it can be helpful to track production deploys within the commit history. This task does the tagging for you.

Capistrano 3

# lib/capistrano/tasks/deploy.rb
namespace :deploy do
  ...

  desc 'Tag the deployed revision'
  task :tag_revision do
    date = Date.today.to_s

    puts `git tag deploy-#{date} #{fetch :current_revision}`
    puts `git push --tags origin`
  end

end
# config/deploy/production.rb
after 'deploy:finished', 'deploy:tag_revision'
