This probably isn't the best place for it, but I don't want to put that info on the wiki unless this branch is merged.

Welcome to the Growstuff project.
Continuous Integration setup
We use various Ruby gems to provide continuous integration and testing. They're
all installed by bundle install; here's how to use them.
Open a terminal window, select the growstuff gemset, and type spork. You
should see the message
Using RSpec
Preloading Rails environment
Loading Spork.prefork block...
Spork is ready and listening on 8989!
Minimise (but don't close!) that window; you won't need to look at it again for the rest of the session. Spork keeps a copy of Rails preloaded so our tests start up quickly.
Now open another window and type rake watchr. Keep that window somewhere you
can see it. Every time you change a file, watchr will run the spec tests
associated with it, so you catch test failures right away.
To install the pre-commit hook, type rake hooks. This installs a hook that
runs all the spec tests before each commit. You only need to do this
installation once.
The Rails tests take a bit longer to run, so aren't run automatically; run them
manually using rake test.
