Development Box Setup

We Are Tech Women was forked from We-Work-In-Philly, which was forked from the citizenry project. It seems this project is no longer under active development. It is, however, useful for historical purposes.

We Are Tech Women is supported by all and owned by no one. Please see the GitHub issues log for some simple ways to contribute. There are several open items that might only require an hour or so of your time. If you have other ideas or enhancements, pull requests are always welcome.

Development Box Setup

The setup assumes a nix based environment. If you are able to setup the build on a windows box, please document it here.

Vagrant VM Setup

You can avoid installing the dependencies listed above on your machine by running the site in a self-contained virtual machine.

Before proceeding you need to have installed:

To start up a vm:

Not familiar with Vagrant? Check out the Getting Started guide.

vagrant ssh will get you onto the vm where you can run rake/rails commands, etc.

The code directory on your machine is mounted into the vm. When you ssh in it's in the watw folder. You can edit files and perform git operations on your host computer using your tools of choice and the changes will be reflected on the vm.

After your first vagrant up you can stop and start the vm more quickly. The initial provisioning only needs to run once. If anything happens with your setup you can vagrant destroy and vagrant up to bring back a fresh environment.

Original Developer Notes

Check out the Original Developer Notes. There is a lot of useful recipes that explain how to setup development machines, switching from staging to production, migration of databases, etc. It is not very organized though.
