Project Overview

This is a Rails 8.0+ application using a "lean engines" pattern for managing multiple Ruby community sites:

• Main App: Core Ruby Australia website at ruby.org.au
• Site Engines: City-specific sites in the sites/ directory (e.g., melbourne.ruby.org.au)

Tech Stack: Rails + Vite + Hotwire + TailwindCSS + PostgreSQL

Development

Setup:

bin/install-hooks  # First time only
bin/setup          # Install dependencies and prepare database

Run the app:

bin/dev  # Starts Vite + Puma + background jobs

Run tests:

bin/tests   # Full test suite (RSpec + Rubocop)
bin/rspec   # RSpec only

For detailed setup instructions, troubleshooting, and contribution guidelines, see CONTRIBUTING.md.

Deployment

Hosted on Heroku with automatic deployment from the main branch.

Live site: ruby.org.au

Releases and Versioning

Versioning is automated via GitHub Actions when code is merged into main. We follow Semantic Versioning.

The version bump is determined by the commit messages:

• Major (x+1).0.0: Add #major to your commit message (e.g., Refactor user auth system #major).
• Minor x.(y+1).0: Add #minor to your commit message (e.g., Add user profile page #minor).
• Patch x.y.(z+1): Default behavior for all other commits.

A new GitHub Release and Git Tag are automatically created for every push to main that successfully passes CI.

Contributing

We welcome contributions of all kinds! See CONTRIBUTING.md for:
