This repo is a collection of standard rake tasks I pull down for most projects.
These tasks make deploying to Heroku easier:
rake deploy # Alias for deploy:staging
rake deploy:staging # Push master to staging remote, plus migrate
rake deploy:production # Push master to production remote, plus migrate
These tasks make moving data around Heroku apps easier. If you use Postgres locally, you can use them to even pull down data locally.
rake pg_sync:production_to_local # Capture a backup of production and restore to your local database
rake pg_sync:production_to_staging # Capture a backup of production and restore to your staging database
rake pg_sync:staging_to_local # Capture a backup of staging and restore to your local database
Since installing Rspec doesn't make you a nice Rake task like Cucumber does, I've been carrying this task around on projects. All it does is run all your specs:
rake spec # Run all specs
