+          ```
+
+          ### Running the Development Server
+
+          ```
+          bin/rails dev
+          ```
+
+          ### Seed Data
+
+          - Use `db/seeds.rb` to create records that need to exist in all environments.
+          - Use `lib/tasks/dev.rake` to create records that only need to exist in development.
+
+          Running `bin/setup` will run `dev:prime`.
+
+          ### Tasks
+
+          - Use `bin/rails suspenders:db:migrate` to run [database migrations][]. This script ensures they are [reversible][].
+          - Use `bin/rails suspenders:cleanup:organize_gemfile` to automatically organize the project's Gemfile.
+          - Use `bin/rails default` to run the default Rake task. This will do the following:
+            - Run the test suite.
+            - Run a Ruby and ERB linter.
+            - Scan the Ruby codebase for any dependecy vulnerabilities.
