00 Getting Started

1. Create a new rails application called "SimpleQuotes" and initialize a blank git repository inside the app:

   rails new SimpleQuotes 
   cd SimpleQuotes 
   git init . 
   

2. Add all the files generated by rails to the repo and verify that all files are staged with the command git status . Commit these files by typing to git and verify again with git status .

   git add . 
   git commit -m 'Base rails app' 
   

3. Checkout a new branch called "quote". We will merge this back into master later.

   git checkout -b quote 
   

4. Create the Quote model and scaffolding using the rails generator. (Substitute the correct values):

   rails generate model <Model> <attribute>:<datatype>
   

5. foreign key datatype: references

   rails generate migration RemoveCrimeIdFromInvestigations crime_id:integer
