Server requirements

You have to push your ssh public key on your server for the correct user.
Create a virtual host configuration for your stage domain. (i.e. ASAP)
Add your public key on your git hosting provider

man

flow command branch

The most commonly command used flow commands are:
    build   Build package based on branch
    deploy  Deploy master branch to production
    test    Test a branch
    stage   Create or synchronise stage environment for branch
    unstage   Remove stage environment for branch

For instance

Only stage and unstage work.

It's based on workspace and repository. This 2 sub modules do some stuffs with fabric. I'm really happy of this simplification of automation. System operations had never been so simple.

Next step

I have to finish the stage part. I want to add a configuration loader for specific application as:

CakePHP 2
Symfony 2
WordPress
AngularJS
Flask

Prepare build command. What kind of test ? How to prepare a build and how to deploy it on master ...
