Since generating a large amount of sample data via a DB seed task takes time, this branch includes a pre-built dataset in the form of a postgres DB dump. This is a data format similar to what you might use to backup a production postgres system.
A pg_dump is basically a direct snapshot of all the data contained in
the DB at a given time. As such it's much quicker for your local
postgres server to load all this data than it would be for you to
re-generate all the data via the seed task yourself.
If you would like to see how the seeds were created, you can look at the db/seeds.rb file. Warning: manually running the seeds task will take several minutes to complete and is not recommended. Instead, load the sample data by running:
rails sample_data:loadIf you would like to skip importing the data, you can create your database the more traditional way:
rails db:create
rails db:migrate
