rails-db: Create the databases defined in the current environment.

rails

$ rails db:create

try on your machine

The command "rails db:create" is used in Ruby on Rails applications to create a new database.

When you run this command, Rails connects to the database server specified in the application's configuration file (config/database.yml), and then creates a new database with the name specified in the configuration.

This command is typically used when setting up a new Rails application or when you want to create an additional database for a specific environment (e.g., development, test, production).

It is important to note that this command does not create the schema or tables within the database. It simply creates an empty database. To create the necessary tables and schema, you would need to run database migrations using the command "rails db:migrate".

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
