Question

I’m currently developing a Rails project in my computer.
I would Like to give a copy of project to my friend so that he can parallely work on the same project.

Does copying the project directory to other system , help this ? Or should I do more to carry the project to different systems.

Answer 1

1. Your friend will have to install ruby and all necessary gems. Copying project folder isn’t gonna install them automatically.
2. Using some version control system (e.g., Git) might be a better option than just copying a directory. This way you two will be able to join results of your work painlessly.
3. Your code should be runnable on any given system, unless you use some platform-specific features (e.g., sendmail).
