In working on her command line todo manager, Katie asked a good question about being able to use a NoMethodError. NoMethodError specifically applies to trying to call methods on an object and there isn't (an obvious) one here, but I wanted to suggest an idea. Notice that you probably have a big long where statement where each case is just "do the thing that the user typed in with whatever arguments they supplied". Here's one potential way to simplify that:

class Dispatcher
  def add
    ...
  end
  def list
    ...
 end

Hello gist!

require 'json'
require 'pry'

url = "https://api.github.com/orgs/TIY-DC-ROR-2015-Jan/repos"

response = `curl #{url}`
data = JSON.parse response

# Try poking around here and taking a look at `data`
# binding.pry

Git has several hooks that you can configure. Personally use two: one to prevent me from accidentally --force pushing to master and this one to keep me from checking in binding.prys:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

# Checks staged files for disallowed additions

class PreCommitHandler

 def handle

require 'httparty'
require 'pry'

ADDRESS = "app15863835@heroku.com"

class Heroku
  include HTTParty
  base_uri "https://api.heroku.com"

  def self.get_token

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

def s n
  Math.sqrt n
end

approxes = [
  "3",
  "s(7 + s(6 + s(5)))",
  "(63 * (17 + 15 * s(5))) / (25 * (7 + 15 * s(5)))",

#!/usr/bin/ruby
# ^- tells the shell to run this script using _system_ ruby
#
# To use, either copy this file or save its contents into a new file
#   (named e.g. `mic_check.rb`), and then run
# $ chmod +x ./mic_check.rb
# $ ./mic_check.rb
#
# Checks your system to ensure that it's setup as expected:
# * has developer tools, brew, a recent git and an editor

Nitrous

Your development environment will continue to be available at lite.nitrous.io. Remember: you'll need to cd your_existing_project_name before running rails commands like rails server.

You're free to have multiple Rails apps on this; run rails new new_project_name from the home directory (you can get there by typing cd ~) if you want to start a new one.

Rails on Your Machine

RailsBridge has a great collection of step-by-step resources for installing Rails on various environments.
