From d0a1ebcb11bdf431a95a88fe86e63122e22e1592 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christopher Baines Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2019 19:18:07 +0100 Subject: Move the database setup section later in the README Given that the .envrc file and direnv setup in the previous step may provide the PostgreSQL tools that you need to run here, it's probably more sensible to re-order the steps in this way. --- README | 62 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------- 1 file changed, 31 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) (limited to 'README') diff --git a/README b/README index 4cffbda..76b50ae 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -23,37 +23,6 @@ the #guix IRC channel on Freenode.
