Once postgres is setup, before this can be run in production:

• Run /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/11.3//bin/createuser -s postgres to create a user called postgres
  • Only need to do this once per computer, and the username can be whatever you want
• Change username in config/database.yml to the username that you created in the above step
• Create a .env file with your HELLO_APP_DATABASE_PASSWORD. In order to create a random password, you can run rails secret.
• Run bundle exec rake db:create:all to create the databases locally.
• Don't forget to run heroku run rails db:migrate for migrating a new database on heroku!

For testing:

• Run rails test to run all tests
• Run bundle exec guard in a seperate terminal window to run the tests whenever an affected file is edited

To reset the database in Heroku:

• Run heroku pg:reset DATABASE and then heroku run rails db:migrate

To seed the test data from db/seeds,rb, run run rails db:seed

To work with Rails in AWS EB, you need to SSH into the Elasic Beanstalk instance and cd to /var/app/current/. Then, you can run any command you'd run locally (you may need to run sudo su or chmod some files if you're having permissions issues).
