Is there an updated link to download the screencast? It would be nice to have a local copy.

Linus Torvalds was passionate ??
Are you kidding?

He was acting like a real asshole.

thanks for the great introduction, switched to git and lovin' it !

just a note about the install, I'm not a linux guru so I didn't know how to solve some issues with the manual compiling (ubuntu 7.10, had some curl error messages...) so I just
#> apt-get install git-core

and it gave me git version 1.5.2.5 .... the rest works the same way.

I also installed the gem git-rails ( gem install git-rails) who allows to enter the command "git-rails init" inside a project to define the .gitignore automatically

Git rocks, as well as Linux and Linus Torvalds

Thanks for putting this together!

I tried the quicktime link twice. It downloaded a corrupt file both times.

If you rename the file from .mov to .mp4 in OS X it will open fine in QuickTime

The original file doesn't play in QuickTime, but it plays in VLC just great :)

Thanks Scott !!! IT WORKS !!!

I'm new to capistrano and git. Peepcode screencast was little bit hard for me at first. Because
deploy environment and settings are slightly different. And I didn't know precisely what permissions needed. Tons of capistrano-emails didn't helped me much. Those were too specific. I found your blog by accident (googling). I think 5 days were passed since I deciede to set up my server. I really appreciate your work. I was so desperate. Thank you.
YOU HELPED ME OUT AND IT WORKS.

really informative.. this solved most of my problems

Yeah, great screencast! Really learned a lot from it. and not just the git stuff. I had seen deploy_via :remote_cache but didn't realise what it was.

The new one works great in QuickTime 7.3, thanks

Thanks for the excellent screencast and for the trouble you went into making this. It really helps. A slight misunderstanding might be there when you said 'no connection to the git server'.

Just FYI: I've downloaded the file and watched it. Works fine with MPlayer on Linux.

Thanks again

Thanks a lot for putting up this screencast. I'm in the process of switching my workflow from svn to git on a couple of projects and it's really helped me to do it quickly.

Great screencast! I recently caught a video of Linus Torvalds presenting Git to Google. He was passionate about how important Git is to the world.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

The real message of Git is the message of Decentralization. Distributing the work of merging and branching is important as we all start to take individual responsibility for creating code. I love using Git.

The "Starfish and the Spider"
http://www.amazon.com/Starf...
Discusses how the Open Source movement is changing the world. It is a powerful read for anyone using Rails, Git, or participating in our modern world.

Great work!

the 'ssh_options' make it so NetSSH doesn't complain about mismatched keys in your host file, which is a pain mostly because I was using weird vmware servers to run the other servers - normally I don't need that - it just makes NetSSH less strict about who it will connect to.

the set :user and set :runner commands determine who Capistrano tries to log in as and run the 'spin' script / mongrels, respectively. if you set :user to 'bob', it will try to ssh in as bob@server.com rather than who youre currently logged in as. if you set :runner to 'mongrel', it will try to start/restart the servers as the user 'mongrel' rather than 'bob'.

hope that helps. if you have specific error messages, let me know.

OK, I put up a new movie using ffmpeg's mpeg4 - hopefully that will work for you. It's here:

Let me know if that is better, and I will link it as well.

Yep, I downloaded the flv and that works. Tried downloading the mov a couple more time and those failed as well. Try not using .264. The best codec is usually Sorenson for web quicktimes. Good compatibility and also very small file sizes.

For for using up your S3 bandwidth!

I have a question, I think your screencast is awesome. I'm having some problems with 2.1. It won't let me cold:deploy. I've read up everywhere but can't find any information.

It basically hangs up on me for ssh and can't get past it. I had an CAP1 working with my server.

Can you explain to me the lines below, and maybe guide me in correcting this issue?
ssh_options[:paranoid] = false
set :user, 'deploy'
set :runner, 'deploy'
