 * [new branch]      master -> master

And that’s it, just visit myapp.com (considering DNS is working) and you should have your Rails app displayed.

Then to update:

$ script/generate scaffold user name:string age:integer password:string
exists  app/models/
exists  app/controllers/
exists  app/helpers/
create  app/views/users
exists  app/views/layouts/
exists  test/functional/
exists  test/unit/
create  test/unit/helpers/
exists  public/stylesheets/
create  app/views/users/index.html.erb
(...)  

$ git add .

$ git commit -m "Added users"

  webbynode delete deletes the current app

• Webby server deployed with Rapid Deployment option

• Only works for Apache with Passenger (Nginx and Passenger on the works)

sudo gem install webbynode
