Creating new users

New users can be created by running the following rake task, which will prompt you for a password for that user.

Currently users are able to log in to '/admin' and add or edit all district and meeting information.

rake users:create[admin@example.com]

# zsh
rake "users:create[admin@example.com]"

CI and Deploys

CI

Github actions currently runs tests against every pushed commit. See .github/workflows for the configuration.

Deploying

Heroku auto-deploys from master when tests pass.

When deploying, Heroku will run migrations and rake one_offs:all. Any one-time, idempotent data migrations should be included in that task.
