I am wondering how I can target a specific commit SHA in Git for deployment, using Capistrano? It should be something like

cap deploy --version=<sha targeted>

Can't seem to find the answer to this after a lot of searching.

For Capistrano 2.9 until 3.0:

cap -S revision=80655da8d80aaaf92ce5357e7828dc09adb00993 deploy

For older versions of Capistrano, you can deploy a particular git commit/tree/branch/tag by doing this:

cap -s branch=80655da8d80aaaf92ce5357e7828dc09adb00993 deploy

In some cases there may be a need of specifying the Environment as an argument as well. production is just an example.

cap production -S revision=80655da8d80aaaf92ce5357e7828dc09adb00993 deploy
