This package is a powerful and flexible automated deployment tool for PHP
projects. It is best suited for, but by no means limited to, deploying [TYPO3](https://typo3.org),
[Flow](https://flow.neos.io) and [Neos](https://www.neos.io) applications. It is inspired by some features of Capistrano
(thank you) in terms of the Git workflow.
