rails:assets_precompile

Precompiles assets. This invokes rake assets:precompile. This is relevant to Rails 3.1+ projects.

# config/deploy.rb
require 'mina/git'
require 'mina/bundler'

# ... settings here

task :deploy do
  deploy do
    invoke :'git:clone'
    invoke :'bundle:install'
    invoke :'rails:db_migrate'
    invoke :'rails:assets_precompile'
  end
end

It also checks the current version to see if it has assets compiled. If it does, it reuses them, skipping the compilation step. To stop this behavior, invoke the mina command with force_assets=1.

To use this, you must add require 'mina/rails' to your deploy.rb.
