+# Database Configuration
+
+This document provides instructions on how to configure the database for the GitHub Hook Server project.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Ensure you have the following installed on your system:
+- PostgreSQL (any version)
+
+## Configuration Steps
+
+1. **Install PostgreSQL**:
+   Follow the instructions for your operating system to install PostgreSQL. You can find the installation guide on the [official PostgreSQL website](https://www.postgresql.org/download/).
+
+2. **Create a Database**:
+   After installing PostgreSQL, create a new database for the project. You can do this using the `psql` command-line tool or any PostgreSQL client.
+
+   ```bash
+   RAKE_ENV=development psql -c "CREATE DATABASE github_hook_server_development;"
+   ```
+3. **Configure Database Connection**:
+    Update the `config/database.yml` file with the database connection details. You can use the following configuration as a template:
+    
+    ```yaml
+    development:
+      adapter: postgresql
+      encoding: unicode
+      database: github_hook_server_development
+      pool: 5
+      username: postgres
+      password: password
+      host: localhost
+      port: 5432
+    ```
+    
+    Replace the `username`, `password`, `host`, and `port` values with your PostgreSQL connection details.
+
+4. **Run Database Migrations**:
+After configuring the database, run the database migrations to set up the necessary tables and schema.  
+ ```bash
+  bundle exec rake db:migrate
+ ```
+
+5. **Verify the Configuration**:
+   Start the application and verify that it can connect to the database without any errors.
+```bash
+RAILS_ENV=development rackup -o 0.0.0.0 -p 9292 config.ru
+```
+
