# PG Clone

This is a dead simple Postgres/Heroku cloning gem, to make it easier to clone your production database locally.

![archer-clone](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/3tq7c9pnwxr7let/clone-bone.gif?dl=0)

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'pgclone'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle

## Usage

The gem is usable either from the command line or from your Rails app.

### Command Line

Just call `pgclone` with the required arguments specified (or `-h` for more info). Those arguments are `--appname` (`-a` - your Heroku appname), `--owner` (`-o` - the local database owner), and `--local-db` (`-l` - the local database name). PG Clone will take care of the rest:

```bash
$ pgclone -a my-heroku-app -o my-db-owner-username -l app_development
```

### In Rails App

Set the mandatory configuration options in a config file:

```ruby
# config/initializers/pgclone.rb
Pgclone.configure do |config|
config.appname = 'my-heroku-app'
config.owner = 'my-db-owner-username'
config.local_db = 'app_development'
config.file = 'temporary-dumpfile.dump' # optional
end
```

Then pull the data from your app like so:

```ruby
Pgclone::Restore.new.go!
```

Or call directly with an options hash:

```ruby
Pgclone::Restore.new({ appname: 'whatever' }).go!
```

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release` to create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
