title: Assuming Development on a Ruby On Rails App?
body: <p>I wanted to get a bit of advice from the StackOverflow community on best practices/guidelines when inheriting a Rails app from another developer.</p>
  
  <p>I am currently in the process of assuming control of development at my place of work. I have decent experience in front-end, SQL/Mongo, and Node.js, and a good amount of knowledge of Ruby. However, I do not have very much experience with Rails, per se.</p>
  
  <p>The previous developer is being fairly unhelpful in providing dependencies and software versions of the various packages in use by the app. However, I have been able to get the following information and I have installed these dependencies (although they may differ from the versions needed by the app):</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Postgres</li>
  <li>Heroku CLI</li>
  <li>AWS CLI</li>
  <li>Redis</li>
  <li>Sidekiq</li>
  <li>AngularJS</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Would any of you guys be able to briefly delineate the next steps of getting a previously existing app running (or point me to another source)?</p>
  
  <p>Any help you all can provide is much appreciated. Thank you!</p>
