Working with the code

#

Run the test suite to verify that everything is working correctly:

$ rails test

If the test suite passes, you’ll be ready to run the app in a local server:

$ rails server

To check out the code for a particular chapter, first find the branch name using

$ git branch -a

A branch called remotes/orgin/foo-bar can be checked out using git checkout foo-bar.

Next, copy the contents of the Gemfile using a text editor and then use

$ git checkout chapter-branch-name

to check out the chapter branch. Finally, copy the contents into the Gemfile and run

$ bundle update

At this point, the branch should be working. (You have to copy the Gemfile contents because it’s incredibly hard to keep all branches up-to-date, so only the main one is guaranteed to be current.)
