Crushing It With Rake Tasks

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Shows concrete Rake recipes: runs bundle exec rake db:migrate and demonstrates db:migrate:redo and rollback behavior, when editing migrations is safe, and when to drop create remigrate. Uses first_or_create for idempotent seeds, builds a CSV importer as db:seed:import_airports that converts empty strings to NULL and avoids 8,000 lookups, adds log:clear, notes and routes inspection, a db:streamlined generator task, and a Heroku pg backup download + pg_restore workflow that actually works while warning about sensitive data.
