I was cleaning some deployment dirs and wanted, just for this instance, to only leave 1 release as opposed to the 5 releases that capistrano leaves by default. Keep in mind this was across about 6 apps and 2 stages for each.

Option 1: Add the following to the deploy.rb files:


set :keep_releases, 1

That would require changing them all back afterwards.

Options 2: Set the capistrano variable from the command line:


cap deploy:cleanup -s keep_releases=1
