Quality of life configs for new rails app

Hi everyone,

I’ve started a new Rails 7 app and put hae it on a VM. The idea is to use it as a hobby production app for me to work more with later Ruby and Rails versions (professionally I’ve always been working in monoliths on prehistoric versions).

What are your go-to quality of life configs you set up when you start a new rails app? I want to adhere to some best practices while maintaining this app.

So far I’ve set up the following:

  • Testing with RSpec (with run on pull request create)

  • FactoryBot

  • Rubocop (with run on pull request create)

  • What do you use for automated Github repo badges? What other repo quality of life setup do you do? I’d appreciate any opinions on what your standard setup is.
