Closed terminal but already made the project

Hi, I was working on my project that I already created using rails new and put it on github; was currently in the front end portion of this course, but my terminal accidentally was closed. How do I open it so it lets me run the server again etc.

When I do cd myprojectname/ and do rails server to run the project I was working on I get this on the browser when I run it

Routing Error No route matches [GET] "/statuses"

Rails.root: /Users/a/myprojectname

Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace Routes

Routes match in priority from top to bottom

You don't have any routes defined!

Please add some routes in config/routes.rb. For more information about routes, please see the Rails guide Rails Routing from the Outside In.

This usually means that you called a route, probably in the view, which you have not defined yet.

For example, you may have something link_to "Statuses", statuses_path in the view without having defined the route in the routes files. The trace should give you a line number and a filename. Have a look.
