Why would you write this
as :user do
get '/register', to: 'devise/registrations#new', as: :register
get '/login', to: 'devise/sessions#new', as: :login
get '/logout', to: 'devise/sessions#destroy', as: :logout
end
devise_for :users, skip: [:sessions]
as :user do
get "/login" => 'devise/sessions#new', as: :new_user_session
post "/login" => 'devise/sessions#create', as: :user_session
delete "/logout" => 'devise/sessions#destroy', as: :destroy_user_session
end
Why not put all of it in one as :user do block and put devise_for :user... before it all?
EDIT: I can't seem to get the formatting right. Sorry.

Treehouse Guest TeacherHey Benjamin Botwin you can definitely do that. We did it in two parts to make the videos a little easier to follow along with. Great question!
