+## Updating Schemas
+
+Regenerate API schemas after editing the fatcat-openapi2 schema. This will, as
+a side-effect, also run `cargo fmt` on the whole project, so don't run it with
+your editor open!
+
+    cargo install cargo-swagger  # uses docker
+    ./codegen_openapi2.sh
+
+Update Rust database schema (after changing raw SQL schema):
+
+    diesel database reset
+    diesel print-schema > src/database_schema.rs
+
+Debug SQL schema errors (if diesel commands fail):
+
+    psql fatcat_test < migrations/2018-05-12-001226_init/up.sql
+
+## Direct API Interaction
+
+Creating entities via API:
