Git basics - a general workflow

Git-workflow vs feature branching

When working with Git, there are two prevailing workflows are Git workflow and feature branches. IMHO, being more of a subscriber to continuous integration, I feel that the feature branch workflow is better suited, and the focus of this article.

If you are new to Git and Git-workflows, I suggest reading the atlassian.com Git Workflow article in addition to this as there is more detail there than presented here.

I admit, using Bash in the command line with the standard configuration leaves a bit to be desired when it comes to awareness of state. A tool that I suggest using follows these instructions on setting up GIT Bash autocompletion. This tool will assist you to better visualize the state of a branc

How to securely set rails secret key when you deploy to Heroku.

Stop Versioning Rails Secret Tokens

After reading Code Climate's Rails' Insecure Defaults I realized I was guilty of breaking rule 3. Versioned Secret Tokens. Here's how I fixed it.

Use dotenv in development and test environments:

# Gemfile
gem 'dotenv-rails', groups: [:development, :test]

Created March 15, 2013 22:43
Truncate a single table across multiple db types. I made this a private method in my application controller (app/controllers/application_controller.rb). Adapted from: https://gist.github.com/tvdeyen/3246525
def truncate_table table_name
config = Rails.configuration.database_configuration
connection = ActiveRecord::Base.connection
connection.disable_referential_integrity do
next if connection.select_value("SELECT count(*) FROM #{table_name}") == 0
case config[Rails.env]["adapter"]
when "mysql", "mysql2", "postgresql"
connection.execute("TRUNCATE #{table_name}")
when "sqlite", "sqlite3"
connection.execute("DELETE FROM #{table_name}")

A Capistrano Rails Guide

A Capistrano Rails Guide

why cap?

Capistrano automates pushing out a new version of your application to a deployment location.

I've been writing and deploying Rails apps for a while, but I avoided using Capistrano until recently. I've got a pretty simple one-host deployment, and even though everyone said Capistrano was great, every time I tried to get started I just got snowed under not being able to figure out exactly what I wanted to do, and figured I wasn't having that much trouble doing it "manually".
