I have just got my web app working with usernames being like this: http://myapp.com/dean instead of http://myapp.com/users/dean.

How do I go about redirecting the /users/ to their username?

This is what my routes.rb file looks like (not the pages, etc):

resources :users
resources :sessions, :only => [:new, :create, :destroy]

match ':id'         => 'users#show'  

Removing the resources :users breaks the site completely and shows No route matches errors.

    resources :users, :path => ''
