====== How to do Staging with Brightbox gem ======

The brightbox gem supports the [[http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2007/7/23/capistrano-multistage|multistage features]] of Capistrano.

If you add:
<code>
require 'capistrano/ext/multistage'
</code>
to the top of your ''config/deploy.rb'' file you will have staging support.



===== Using multistage =====

  * Factor out the differences between ''staging'' and ''production'' into ''config/deploy/staging.rb'' and ''config/deploy/production.rb'' respectively.
  * Run capistrano with the stage you want to execute:<code>
cap staging deploy</code>

===== Example staging.rb =====


<code>
set  :branch,  'staging'
set  :rails_env,   'staging'
set  :domain, "staging.myapp.mydomain.com"

server "staging.myapp.mydomain.com", :app, :web, :db, :primary => true
</code>
