How it works

When you have big repository, deploying via capistrano takes a long time, becouse it fetching all project from git every time. You can go to ssh and do git pull origin; it will be very fast.

When you deploying with Sunraise, it doing something like this

git reset HEAD --hard
git pull origin master
# restart web server

• saves previous release
• make links to shared folders
• checks rails for working (runs script/about)
• and run migrations
