Of course not. Why would they? Cap just uses github credentials to pull code from github, same as you would if you were doing this without Cap. > > And, if so, do I need to create a special user that has the same > credentials as my github account so that deployment works? No. But in most cases, you *will* want to create a special user account on your server for Capistrano to use. > > If the above is true, and my deploy_to is set in a specific user > directory, wouldn't the new user have to have write access to that > directory as well? Yes, the user that Cap logs in as will have to have write access in the directory where it's told to put the files. > These are some of the questions that are a bit > confusing to me.

I just need to understand the work I'm doing. I didn't realize (until Philip posted it) that Github now has a Cap guide.
