 **Known problems**
 If you encounter `database doesnt exist in rake db create` after running both `rake db:setup` and `rake db:create`, you'll need to comment out the lines these lines at `pg_type_map.rb`

+## Formatting
+
+We are using [Standard](https://github.com/testdouble/standard) that is a wrapper on top of Rubocop with a predefined set of Rules. If you use VS Code you will want to install [vscode-ruby](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rebornix.Ruby) extension and enable formatting on save.
+
+To enable formatting on save add these lines to your `settings.json`.
+
+```json
+{
+  "[ruby]": {
+    "editor.formatOnSave": true
+  },
+  "ruby.lint": {
+    "rubocop": true
+  },
+  "ruby.format": "rubocop",
+  "editor.formatOnSaveTimeout": 5000
