Friendly URLs

By default, Rails applications build URLs based on the primary key -- the id column from the database. Imagine we have a Person model and associated controller. We have a person record for Bob Martin that has id number 6. The URL for his show page would be:

/people/6

But, for aesthetic or SEO purposes, we want Bob's name in the URL. The last segment, the 6 here, is called the "slug". Let's look at a few ways to implement better slugs.

Use DocPad, GitHub and Prose as a Wiki

This guide will walk you through how you can use a GitHub repository to house your wiki content, have DocPad render it, and automatically update on changes. It's also really nice as we get to benefit from the github project workflow for our wiki, that is issues, pull requests, etc.

We use this workflow heavily by linking the DocPad Website and the DocPad Documentation repositories allowing us to have users edit and submit pull requests for improvements to our documentation, and once merged, the website regenerates automatically.

1. Create a new repository for your Wiki Content

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

## Purpose: create a partial Rubygems mirror on Debian (7 AKA wheezy)
## Design goal: no system wide gems other than Debian packages

# make sure bundler, ruby-builder (required for generate_index) + rubygems-integration (required for gem<->builder integration) are available:
% sudo apt-get install ruby-bundler ruby-builder rubygems-integration

# We use gem-mirror (http://rubygems.org/gems/gem-mirror / https://github.com/YorickPeterse/gem-mirror), so
# install gem-mirror gem itself (requires ruby >=1.9) in local directory for execution via bundler:
% cat Gemfile
source 'https://rubygems.org/'
