hey guys, do you have a wiki hidden somewhere about how to move from subversion to deploy via github. I think i got it mostly figured out but would like to be sure as it’s a live site…

cheers

Hi Volker,

github have a guide on deploying from github using Capistrano:

http://github.com/guides/deploying-with-capistrano

that might help you confirm a few options.

We use an ssh-agent to avoid having to put private keys on our servers. You load your key (or the github deploy key) into your local ssh agent, and then when git connects to github over ssh, it tunnels the authentication back to your desktop machine (see the Capistrano option mentioned in that article, ssh_options[:forward_agent] = true)

Hope that helps!

John.
