Text to Squares¶ ↑

This is an application that a RailsGirls workgroup is using to learn programming with Ruby and Rails. Yay!

Setup¶ ↑

To work on this application locally, you should first make sure you can run it and the tests. Some basic instructions follow.

1. Make sure you have a working local development environment with (at least) Ruby and git. The instructions at robots.thoughtbot.com/post/8700977975/2011-rubyists-guide-to-a-mac-os-x-development should help…

2. Get the code. You can do this via ‘git clone git://github.com/svenfuchs/text-to-squares.git`

3. Run: ‘cd text-to-squares`

4. Run: ‘bundle install`

5. Run: ‘bundle exec rake db:schema:load`

6. Run: ‘bundle exec rails server`

7. In your browser, open localhost:3000/, and everything should work. If not, feel free to file an issue! github.com/rubymonsters/text-to-squares/issues

Instruction how to add new feature by creating branches

Be on your master and create a new branch (that will kind of create a copy of your master):
$ git branch <branch_name>

Now switch to that new created branch:
$ git checkout <branch_name>

Push the branch to github
$ git push origin <branch_name>

Do your changes and commit them 

Push to your branch:
$ git push origin <branch_name>

If you want to delete a branch locally, switch to your master and do:
$ git branch -d <branch_name> or $ git branch -D <branch_name> (in case it hasn´t been fully merged)

if you want it to be removed from github (after it has been merged into the master or
because you don´t need it anymore) be on your master and do:
$ git push origin :<branch_name>

Want to see all your branches?
$ git branch

Note: It´s good to commit or stash changes first before switching back to another branch.
