Vlad with Git

So I just got a new computer and I was installing all my gems and downloading all my repos onto it to get my new system up to speed.  I did the standard

sudo gem install vlad

and then tried to deploy with

rake vlad:deploy

only to find that for some reason vlad was refusing to read my config/deploy.rb file.  Instead I got the error “Don’t know how to build task: ‘vlad:deploy’”.

As it turns out when using vlad with git you have to also include the vlad-git library.  So I ran

sudo gem install vlad-git

and everything ran as normal.  Too bad that little fact didn’t make it into the vlad documentation, but here it is anyway.  Happy deploying.
