In most cases you should have your code in a online repository like github or bitbucket, and then you just have to set this line in your deploy.rb file:
set :repo_url, 'git@bitbucket.org:my_account/my_project.git'Though if you happen to have a repository on the remote server that you are deploying too, then you would change that line in your deploy.rb file to be this:
set :repo_url, 'file:///home/deploy/bare_repo/my_project.git'Keep in mind that the three forward slashes are important since the file:// tells capistrano that you are looking for a file, and the preceding slash is needed to point to a root path which would be something like /home/deploy/bare_repo/my_project.git.
set :repository, 'file:///path/to/your/git_repository'set :local_repository, "file://."set :scm, :git# set :deploy_via, :copy # you must comment it
