Question

What do I need to do if I want to use https://github.com/holden/devise-omniauth-example as my starting point for my app?

I’m developing on OSx and I’m a noob. I’d like to start with a pre-built auth system and go from there. New to git too–I think I want to pull from git? or start a new rails app as a template?

Answer 1

To use that. You need to install git. Check out homebrew to install git, makes life easier.

Next do

git clone https://github.com/holden/devise-omniauth-example.git

cd devise-omniauth-example

and you are good to go after changing some configs, mostly db.

I would recommend starting from scratch and reading about devise. It may take a bit longer, but will make life easier in the long run.
