Developer README

be DRY and OOP where ever possible
use ruby code conventions (two space indents, underscore variable names , question mark boolean methods, etc)
all rspec and cucumber tests should be passing green before committing
there should exist tests exercising all new functionality
the first line of commit messages should generally be brief and concise (< ~60 characters)
commits building toward distinct features should be in separate pull requests (use feature branches)
it should be clear from the extended commit message and pull request discussion as to which feature each commit is building toward

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_NICK/tip4commit.git
cd ./tip4commit

cp ./config/config.yml.sample   ./config/config.yml
cp ./config/database.yml.sample ./config/database.yml

To allow unconfirmed registrations without configuring the mailer, you can comment out the devise :confirmable module requirement in app/models/user.rb (be sure to uncomment it again before you commit)

devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :recoverable,
       :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable # , :confirmable

bundle install --without production
bundle exec rake db:migrate
bundle exec rake db:test:prepare

All rspec and Cucumber tests should be passing green - open an issue if they are not

bundle exec rake spec
bundle exec rake cucumber

rails server

Create a user account in the usual way (and confirm if you have not commented out the devise :confirmable module)
Add a project by browsing to the /projects and entering the project url in the search field

e.g. https://github.com/tip4commit/tip4commit

At this point you will be on the newly created project page but there will be no way to configure it yet
Run the background worker and then reload the project page

bundle exec rails runner "BitcoinTipper.work"

You should now see a "change project settings" button
Click the "change project settings" button and you should now see the project settings page
"branch" determines for which project branch tips are offered
