Ruby on Rails: Sophie - NikitaDouglas/acebook-Kindred GitHub Wiki

• Reflections and notes on learning a new framework Ruby on Rails, working as agile team and proper practices for git issue, branching, pull requestions and automation linked to trello tickets (dreamy!!!)

• Working in an agile team is AWESOME!
• Trello: always my mate now my best mate
• Learning to use git processes properly takes some practice but is invaluable to a well organised team, dry code, rigorous code review, merging and ironing out bugs with travis so you can deploy with (relatively) little pain.
• Don't underestimate my less friendly but v.important mate: travis
• Tests as always are your friends. TDD but spike too
• Mobbing is tiring but rewarding
• Don't underestimate the importance of structured self-led learning
• Rest and time away from code make you a better dev

Set up workflow on a new ticket:

1. Trello add number to ticket #3
2. Open issue with same name as ticket (#no self populates)
3. Link github issue to trello ticket
4. Create new branch with name of ticket/issue
5. Switch into branch locally and GO!
6. Commit and push regularly with detailed explanations

• Understand the rails directory setup first before you run any commands or write any code! Here is my guide:

• Gems

  • Devise see my write up on how to set up user authentication here

• Useful commands:

  • Start server from root using rails server and visit localhost:3000
  • Run rails generate <something> Name builds directory for you.
