Part 1: Preparation: get your app running locally

$ cd /root/
$ git clone https://github.com/{YOURGITHUBUSERNAME}/{YOURREPONAME}.git # Replace YOURGITHUBUSERNAME with your github username and replace YOURREPONAME with the name of your repo.
$ cd YOURREPONAME

After you are in your YOURREPONAME directory. Run rails new . This command will install a new Ruby on Rails application in the current directory.

Copy and paste the following line into your projects Gemfile on line 30.

group :production do
  gem 'pg', '~> 0.21' # for Heroku deployment
  gem 'rails_12factor'
end

and move

gem sqlite3

to the

group :development :test

in the Gemfile.

Whenever you start working on a Rails project, the first thing you should do is to run Bundler, to make sure all the app's gems are installed. Switch to the app's root directory and run

bundle install --without production

You only need to specify --without production the first time, as this setting will be remembered on future runs of Bundler for this project.

At this point you should be able to run the app locally

rails server -b 0.0.0.0

and navigate to http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

Note: If you stop the server by hitting control-C, you will no longer be able to visit the Ruby on Rails site. Start the server again by repeating the last command.

Lastly, push the new application to Github. (You will need to run the git commands every time you want to push code to GitHub.)

$ cd /root/{YOURPOJECTNAME}
$ git add -A
$ git status #Make sure all the new files are tracked AND on stage for being committed!!
$ git commit -m "Init"
$ git push
