Question

I pushed code to my server using capistrano (using git also).

I then made changes on my laptop, but haven’t sinced published to the server.

I want to know which git version I pushed to the server so I can rollback to that version.

Is this possible?

I know I should have used tags but kinda late for that, hoping I can figure out the version I pushed to my server, so I can rollback to that version or at least diff from that version to the current built to see what has changed since then.

Capistrano should have put a REVISION file under #{your_app}/current on the server, with the deployed commit’s SHA:

So something like:

     git diff `ssh your_user@your_server "cat /path/to/your/app/current/REVISION" `

should get you the appropriate diff.
