# Capistrano::FasterAssets

This gem speeds up asset compilation by skipping the assets:precompile task if none of the assets were changed
since last release.

Works *only* with Capistrano 3+.

### Installation

Add this to `Gemfile`:

    group :development do
      gem 'capistrano', '~> 3.1'
      gem 'capistrano-faster-assets', '~> 1.0'
    end

And then:

    $ bundle install

### Setup and usage

Add this line to `Capfile`, after `require 'capistrano/rails/assets'`

    require 'capistrano/faster_assets'

### More Capistrano automation?

If you'd like to streamline your Capistrano deploys, you might want to check
these zero-configuration, plug-n-play plugins:

- [capistrano-unicorn-nginx](https://github.com/bruno-/capistrano-unicorn-nginx)<br/>
no-configuration unicorn and nginx setup with sensible defaults
- [capistrano-postgresql](https://github.com/bruno-/capistrano-postgresql)<br/>
plugin that automates postgresql configuration and setup
- [capistrano-rbenv-install](https://github.com/bruno-/capistrano-rbenv-install)<br/>
would you like Capistrano to install rubies for you?
- [capistrano-safe-deploy-to](https://github.com/bruno-/capistrano-safe-deploy-to)<br/>
if you're annoyed that Capistrano does **not** create a deployment path for the
app on the server (default `/var/www/myapp`), this is what you need!
