Self Documenting Binary

Capistrano is pretty well self documenting, you can see a list of what your current setup can do by calling the following in your project directory:

   cap -T

If you have tasks without descriptions, they will be skipped, try either:

   cap -vT
   cap -Tv

(Depends which version of cap you are running)

The output from those lists the first sentence of each description, if you want to see more, you can run something like the following:

   cap -e deploy:setup

Which will output the long descrption, if you want to see all of that output, for a default deployment, run the following in your project directory (note, this is a bit of a unix hack, and hardly pretty!)

   cap -T | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -n1 cap -e
