## What it is
A Ruby gem that provides Heroku-style, push-based deployment via git hooks: you deploy by running `git push production master` to a remote server over SSH. It generates per-project callback scripts (in any language) that run on the server during each deploy.

## Use cases
- deploy my app with git push like heroku
- set up push-to-deploy on my own server
- simple ssh-based deployment for a ruby web app
- run migrations and asset tasks on every deploy
- deploy a single-host app without a CI/CD pipeline
- customize deployment hooks per project

## When to choose
- you deploy to a single server over SSH with key auth
- you want Heroku-style `git push` deployments without Heroku
- your team already uses git and wants minimal tooling
- you want simple, editable per-project deploy scripts

## When to avoid
- you need multi-server, containerized, or cloud-native deployments
- you want a full CI/CD pipeline with builds and rollbacks
- you deploy to platforms with native git deploy support
- you need zero-downtime or blue-green deployment strategies
