This is a team project to build a clone of Facebook using Ruby on Rails. The original repo can be found here. This project was built using Agile practices and was the first time all members of the team had worked with Rails.
PlaiceBook was built by Henry Gambles, Amy Jordan, Matt Thompson and Evelyn Blázquez.
Screenshots of our Trello board showing our progress throughout the two weeks and our learnings are saved here.
First, clone this repository. Then:
> bundle install
> bin/rails db:create
> bin/rails db:migrate> bundle exec rspec # Run the tests to ensure it works> bin/rails server # Start the server at localhost:3000Follow the "fork-and-pull" Git workflow:
- Fork this repo
- Clone the project to your own machine
- Commit changes to your own branch
- Push your work back up to your fork
- Submit a pull request so that we can review your changes
As none of us had deployed an app previously, we decided to use Heroku. We understood that we would have more flexibility with AWS but with Heroku we would have more 'out of the box'.
We followed this Getting Started guide from Heroku.
As we were following the fork-and-pull workflow, we felt comfortable to use CD for our project and enabled this on Day 2.
