heroku: https://gitlab-dependabot-example.herokuapp.com/

Getting Started

Installing Ruby

We’re going to use rbenv to install and manage our Ruby versions.

1. Run the following commands in your Terminal:

   $ brew install rbenv ruby-build
   

2. Set up rbenv in your shell.

   $ rbenv init
   

3. Install Ruby

   $ rbenv install 2.7.1
   $ rbenv global 2.7.1
   $ ruby -v
   

Installing Rails

1. Install Rails

   $ gem install rails -v 6.0.2.1
   

2. Rails is now installed, but in order for us to use the rails executable, we need to tell rbenv to see it:

   $ rbenv rehash
   

3. verify Rails is installed:

   $ rails -v
   

Installing Yarn

1. Install Yarn

   $ brew install yarn
   

Installing dependencies

1. Change directory to cammondra-work/ and Run:

   # Install gem dependencies
   $ bundle
   # Install Js dependencies
   $ yarn
   

Environment variables

There is a file called .envrc in the root directory of this project with all the environment variables set to empty value. You can set the correct values as per the following options:

export GITLAB_KEY=your-key
export GITLAB_SECRET=your-secret

export GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-token

export RAILS_ENV=development
export PORT=3000

Test on LocalHost

Make sure your are in the root directory and start the web server:

$ bin/rails server

Run with —help or -h for options.

Ps: you'll need to make your url public inorder for Gitlab OAuth to work. Try using ngrok or some other service to test locally.

Go to http://localhost:3000 and Play around!
