Git Pusshuten is a Git-based application deployment tool that allows defining server environments using modules. It combines features of deployment tools and server configuration automation tools. Users can install modules like Bundler, MySQL, and Passenger to provision servers. The tool is initialized for a Rails project, modules are selected, and servers are configured. Deployment is done by pushing code to branches, installing software, uploading configs, and more with single commands. While simple to use, it has limited modules and activity compared to popular alternatives.
