Add these lines to your app's Gemfile:

# Rake tasks for Rails
gem "rateaux"

Then call bundle install.

Delete all data from the current database.

$ rake db:truncate

Delete all data and tables from the current database. This is similar to db:drop but it does not drop the database itself.

$ rake db:drop_tables

When your migration errors with "No migration with version number" you can call this to delete all migrations that don’t have associated files anymore.

$ rake db:migrate:delete_orphaned

Remove migrations then checkout a git branch.

$ rake checkout new_branch_name

This will:

1. Roll back any migrations on your current branch which do not exist on the other branch
2. Discard any changes to the db/schema.rb file
3. Check out the other branch
4. Run any new migrations existing in the other branch
5. Update your test database

Empty the Rails cache store.

$ rake cache:clear

Empty Sidekiq’s queues.

$ rake sidekiq:flush

Copy assets files with a digest (for example application-d45e…565.css) to their non-digested form (for example application.css).

$ rake assets:copy_non_digested

View the database structure.

$ rake db:schema:view

Add the # frozen_string_literal: true header to all Ruby files in the project.

$ rake add_frozen_string_literal_headers

In French rateaux means rakes.
