The README should be self-explanatory, but to summarise you just need to copy a
couple of files into your wp-content, edit lib/config.yml, and then run "cap
deploy" or "cap production deploy", for instance, for production. (The README's
a few days out-of-date in the "modules" section, but other than that it should
provide a good starting point.)

I took a look over Autopress. From the looks of it it's very minimal compared
to wp-capistrano. I have a more complex setup because each project's root
repository is at wp-content (the theme and individual plugins are all
submodules). Also, wp-capistrano will automatically convert SASS to CSS, set
up wp-super-cache for you, handle shared uploads/plugins directories, etc..

If anybody's interested in this I'd love any feedback you can offer.
