How do I package my node project files and deploy them to my server?

I have a nodejs non open source web application project that I want to deploy to a production server and/or a staging server. Is there a default way for this, or some tool that does it? I want to package all files needed and exclude the files not needed like the .git folder, the tests and other files like Gruntfile, package.json and so on.

I could of course manually package the files in a tar.gz file and send them to the correct server. But I was hoping to find a more complete and configurable tool that can do it for me.

Might be not exactly what you're asking for, but i like git for automated deployment.

You could have branches like staging and production, which are checked out on the remote server.

You can set up a git hook like post-receive to update those remotely, every time you merge changes into those branches.
