This is Heroku Suspenders, the thoughtbot rails template modified to be used for deployment to Heroku. To create a new project, checkout this
repository and run:

    ./script/create_project projectname

This will create a project in ../projectname.  You should then follow the
instructions on Github to upload that project there.  This script creates an
entirely new git repository, and is not meant to be used against an existing
repo.

When making a change to a project that was created via this template, consider
whether it's a change that should be made across all projects.  If so, then
make the change in this template, and pull it into your project via:

    git pull heroku_suspenders master

About Suspenders

Testing
-------

Testing is done utilizing Test::Unit, Shoulda, factory_girl, and mocha.

factory_girl is a fixture replacement library, following the factory pattern.  Place your
factories in test/factories.rb.  The fixture directory has been removed, as fixtures are not
used.

Shoulda is a pragmatic testing framework for TDD and BDD built on top of Test::Unit.
