A new Rails App and Git
March 19th, 2009 . Posted in Uncategorized.
I’ve always got confuse (4get neng na) when mostly starting a new rails app and have it configured to work with git. So here’ s a quick note to remember:
new rails app:
1 | $> sudo rails my_new_app |
Then add a git to it:
1 2 | $> cd my_new_app $> sudo git init |
Then just tell git who were are:
1 | $>git config --global user.name "Your Name"; git config --global user.email "your@email.com" |
Tell git to ignore some files and folders
at application root create .gitignore file containing:
1 2 | $> sudo touch .gitignore $> sudo vim .gitignore |
and you may add the following to .gitignore
1 2 3 4 5 | log/*.log tmp/**/* .DS_Store doc/api doc/app |
Create some more .gitignore files so the empty directories get tracked:
1 2 | $> touch log/.gitignore $> touch tmp/.gitignore |
and commit:
1 2 | $ git add . $ git commit -m "initial Rails app" |
That’s it!
