STAGING environment creation

gistfile1.txt

1. make staging.rb in config/environments - copy production.rb for starters
2. in database.yml , application.yml , cloudinary.yml ... any .yml file , copy the production block and name it staging
2b.   if you are using Resque - make a staging env in initializers/resque.rb
2c. add staging constants for any system-wide URLs 
3. heroku create --remote staging <staging_app_name> --addons [any add ons here].
     create the staging area of the config file
    <staging_app_name> is the part of the url before '.herokuapp.com'  -- muy importante , dont forget 
4.  heroku config:add RACK_ENV=staging RAILS_ENV=staging --remote staging
     set up the rails environment vars
5. git push staging master
6. heroku run rake db:migrate --remote staging

7. RAILS 4 additions - if you have ...

group :production do
     gem 'pg'
    gem 'rails_log_stdout',           github: 'heroku/rails_log_stdout'
    gem 'rails3_serve_static_assets', github: 'heroku/rails3_serve_static_assets'
    gem 'thin'
end

you must also have 

group :staging do
    gem 'pg'
    gem 'rails_log_stdout',           github: 'heroku/rails_log_stdout'
    gem 'rails3_serve_static_assets', github: 'heroku/rails3_serve_static_assets'
    gem 'thin'
end


for produciton ...
git push production master
heroku run rake db:migrate --remote production

you can build it to recognize gphm as going to staging automatically
