Rake is a super helpful tool that becomes a good friend for most Ruby developers …

The kind of friend that helps you out when you need to move, and the kind of friend that you occasionally need to offer some guidance to (bundle exec, anyone?).
I use it every day to get work done within a variety of web apps. Yet I still have to look up the exact syntax for lesser used commands. Do I clear or clean my assets? How do I run just this new test file again? What are all the things I can do with the database again? I’m really into mind maps these days, so I made myself a Ruby on Rails rake cheat sheet.
