That's not going to match the release name that capistrano chose, right? Seems like you'd want to use latest_release or something.

  Yeah, modify to taste. I only wanted to post some example code to show how easy it is to automate tagging. My code won't be appropriate if you don't use master/staging/production branches, either.

  We do the inverse. We tag first, then instruct Capistrano to grab the latest release (with a prompt). We have a release plan though, where software goes through QA before it's tagged. Only software ready for production gets a tag. Everything up to that point is done on a release branch. set :branch do default_tag = `git tag`.split("\n").last tag = Capistrano::CLI.ui.ask "Tag to deploy (make sure to push the tag first): [#{default_tag}] " tag = default_tag if tag.empty? tag end
