Description

CoffeeApp is a simple wrapper for couchapp command. CoffeeApp override normal push behavoir, by adding '.releases' directory which contain deployment snapshots (timestamped). While files are copied to release snapshot... coffee-script files (.coffee) are converted on the fly to java-script (.js) files.

'.releases' directory should be added to .gitignore or .hgignore or whatever you have using to prevent versioning.

TODO

• add coffeescript project initialization(install compressed coffeescript for frontend, add gitignores and etc..)
• add application testing stuff - still open how to do that
