# <%= app_name %>

This is a Rails <%= Rails::VERSION::MAJOR %>.<%= Rails::VERSION::MINOR %> app.

## Prerequisites

This project requires:

- Ruby (see [.ruby-version](./.ruby-version)), preferably managed using [rbenv](https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv)
<% if postgres -%>
- PostgreSQL must be installed and accepting connections
<% end -%>

On macOS, these [Homebrew](http://brew.sh) packages are recommended:

```
brew install rbenv
<% if postgres -%>
brew install postgresql@17
<% end -%>
```

## Getting started

### bin/setup

Run this script to install necessary dependencies and prepare the Rails app to be started for the first time.

```
bin/setup

> [!TIP]
> The `bin/setup` script is idempotent and is designed to be run often. You should run it every time you pull code that introduces new dependencies or makes other significant changes to the project.

### Run the app!

```
bin/dev
```

The app will be located at <http://localhost:3000/>.

## Development
