+# capcake
+
+Looking to deploy a CakePHP application you've built? Capcake extends Capistrano, removing the `rails-ism`, replacing them by more `cake-ish` ones.
+
+## Installation
+
+    # gem install capcake -s http://gemcutter.org
+
+## Usage
+
+Prepend your config/deploy.rb with the following lines:
+    require 'rubygems'
+    require 'capcake'
+
+You should then be able to proceed as you would usually. To familiarise yourself with the now modified list of tasks, you can get a full list with:
+
+    $ cap -T
