svnadmin create reposName
make your rails app in a temp dir
navigate one above rails app
svn import tester file:///home/usr/path/folder -m "comment"
delete your temp folder contents

----
REMEMBER:
svn file management is all through svn commands---
svn add
svn rename
svn commit
etc.

---

navigate into the temp folder
svn checkout file:///home/usr/path/file checkoutName
svn revert revertThisFile/* - your going to ask it to ignore these dirs
svn propset svn:ignore "*.log" log -ignore all of these


---

bring it home:
railsthings dave$ svn checkout svn+ssh://usrName@domain.com/home/usr/path/folder nameOfLocalFile

---

we made a rake task--check it out--it adds all our changes to the impending commit
svn commit -m "message"

curl - command line request

RoR: From RyanB's Railscasts

Model.find_all_by_columnName(condition); --or simply find_by_columnName

Class method=> def self.method_name; move multi-use methods from controller to model

with_scope :method_root (ex. :find) => options do
method code
end

when iterating through blocks w/ method--> method to proc --> ex. find(:all).collect(&:name)

virtual attribute--> acts like any column--> define getter and setter methods w/ attribute name in model.
ex.

def full_name
[first_name, last_name].join(' ')
end

def full_name=(name)
split = name.split(' ', 2)
self.first_name = split.first
self.last_name = split.last
end

Named routes--> generic --> map.resources :modelName

• Show
• New
• Create
• Edit
• Update
• Destroy
  

fixtures --> dummy data moves with filesystem

add/remove columns to existing from prompt -->script/generate migration [add/remove]_columnName_[to/from]_tableName

make_resourceful plugin-->

script/plugin install http://svn.hamptoncatlin.com/make_resourceful/tags/make_resourceful
