CAP(1)                    BSD General Commands Manual                   CAP(1)

NAME
     cap -- Ruby on Rails web applications deployment utility

SYNOPSIS
     cap [options] args
     capify [options] args

DESCRIPTION
     Capistrano is a utility for deploying web applications would be akin to saying that computers are
     machines that let you type school papers. It's a gross understatement.  Capistrano is actually capable
     of doing far, far more than just deploying web apps. However, because deployment of web apps is what
     Capistrano was originally created for, this manual will focus on that, and then spend a little time at
     the end showing some of the other possibilities.

     For more information about the cap cap and cap capify commands you can use their --h flag. There is
     also online documentation available at "http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/97".

     trademark conflict.
