# How to clone a Ruby on Rails project from  github?

---

### 0-Get the link

In your GitHub repo page, go to `Code`, `SSH`, then you should be able to see the link. Copy it.

### 1-Git clone command

```ruby
git clone git@github.com:alexcalaca/coding-challenges-ruby.git
```

Run the previous command in your desired folder.

Note that it's not necessary to create a specific folder for the project, because a new one will be created automatically.

---

### 2-Check

```ruby
ls
```

you should see a new folder with the project name.

In my example, the new project is `coding-challenges-ruby`.

---

### 3-Install dependencies

```apache
bundle install
```

---

### 4-Set up database

```apache
rails db:setup
```

The `bin/rails db:setup` command will create the database, load the schema, and initialize it with the seed data.

---

### 5-Run migrations

```apache
rails db:migrate
```

Note that running the `db:migrate` command also invokes the `db:schema:dump` command, which will update your `db/schema.rb` file to match the structure of your database.

---

### 6-Start the server

```apache
rails server
```

The `bin/rails server` command launches a web server that comes bundled with Rails. You'll use this any time you want to access your application through a web browser.
