Installing sqlite3-pcre on macOS
  1. Decide where you're going to put the compiled library, e.g. ~/lib. We'll call this <target-dir> below.

  2. Clone ralight/sqlite3-pcre

  3. Ensure pcre is installed (brew install pcre).

  4. In the sqlite3-pcre directory, compile with:

    cc \
      -shared \

-o /sqlite3-pcre.so \

dmolesUC / seed_dump-standalone.md
Created February 12, 2020 17:42
Using the seed_dump gem with StandaloneMigrations

The seed-dump gem generates db/seeds.rb for a Rails project from an existing database. It also works outside of Rails with standalone-migrations, but you need to jump through a couple of hoops to set up the Rake task and give it access to your model classes.

In your Gemfile:

gem 'seed_dump'
