Deploy Node.js apps with Haibu and Git
Git Set-Up
Make a bare git repo on your server. I follow these instructions. Add this post-receive hook.
Deploy Set-Up
Install node and haibu. Start haibu. Drop deploy.js somewhere. Edit the paths to node, haibu, and your repo. Update the path to deploy.js in your post-receive hook.
Push with git on your local machine to your server. Done!

Cool! Thanks man! One ever-so-slightly confusing bit for me was:
url: "/path/to/repo/"+package.name+".git"
which I would change to:
url: "/path/to/folder/containing/repos/"+package.name+".git"
@bennlich: Thanks, nice catch :) I've updated the gist.
I've run into an issue where pushing a broken version of code is unfixable with future pushes. Have you ever come across this? I accidentally pushed code where I require() a missing library, but haibu is refusing to use newer versions of the code. I'm trying to figure out if this is a problem with haibu or the deploy script.
(I commented on what seems like a related issue here: https://github.com/nodejitsu/haibu/issues/108)
