Blog Clone

This project is a bare bones backend app modeled after instagram/twitter. The purpose of the app is to show off modern programming practices such as:

• data validation (in User/Microposts models)
• testing (functional and unit tests for Users/Microposts)
• deployment via Heroku
• CI/CD using Heroku and GitHub
• user authentication via Devise
