# when you notice Secretgardens updates on GitHub
git pull
git fetch speedrail
git merge speedrail/master --allow-unrelated-histories
git checkout -b speedrail_updates
git add .
git push speedrail_updates
# use GitHub UI to handle conflicts

Testing

# headless
bundle exec rspec # run all tests inside spec/
bundle exec rspec spec/dir_name # run all tests inside given directory

# headed (in a real browser)
HEADED=TRUE bundle exec rspec

Code Quality

clean code keeps projects manageable as they grow in complexity.

rubocop # checks your code against Ruby styling standards and calls out issues
rubocop -A # automatically fixes issues, can lead to false negatives
rubocop -a # automatically fixes "safe" issues, less aggressive than -A (uppercase)

Rubocop is an optional feature, however it runs automatically during GitHub CI checks. if you don't want to enforce the Rubocop style guide, simply disable the Rubocop Check step inside ci.yml.
