Local shell commands about mina

If that's what you're after, you should take a look at Capistrano or Vlad. The "queue everything and execute" is precisely why Mina was created, as other deploy tools don't do the same thing.

You can also simply compile all the assets first, tarball the entire assets/ directory, scp it, and catch it after deploying.

# Haven't tested, all hypothetical!
task :prepare_assets do
  set :asset_file, "assets.%s.tar.gz" % [Time.now.strftime("%Y%m%d%h%n%s")] # ?
  system "bundle exec rake assets:precompile RAILS_GROUPS=assets"
  system "tar -zxc assets -f /tmp/#{asset_file}"
  system "scp /tmp/#{asset_file} #{user}@#{domain}:/tmp/#{deploy_to}/tmp/#{asset_file}"
end

This may seem hackish as there's no Mina helper API to handle this case, but this isn't a popular use case so far, and Capistrano may be better suited for your purposes.

Yes, I'm doing something like that right now.

Thanks for your answer.
