Deploying Drupal projects: git + capistrano

removing some folders from git, file .gitignore with these contents:

Using symbolic links for /files directory:

namespace:custom do

task:symlink do

run "ln -s /var/www/crucerista/sites/crucerista.net/files/ /var/www/crsta/current/sites/crucerista.net/"

run "echo 'finished'"

end

after "deploy","custom:symlink"
