Initially, I got a connection error, to the effect, 'database 'my_user_name' does not exist.

After running createdb and then psql, everything works and I was able to connect using 'TablePlus' : )

Type "psql -l" to your command to check existing databases (without quotes "")

This a good one that I run every so often to check for any old databases laying around that I can get rid of, so good call on mentioning it!

Hi mate, should probably mention somewhere to createdb. I spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out why tablePlus couldn't connect with the new database.
