Rails Templater

This is a template which allows creating new Ruby on Rails 3 applications quickly using some opinionated defaults. It is inspired by ffmike's BigOldRailsTemplate Rails 2 template project. To use templater with your Rails apps, use the -m switch when creating your application:

rails new application_name -JOT -m templater.rb

Getting started

• Clone rails-templater to your hard drive
• Generate the Rails application:

  rails new application_name -JOT -m /path/to/rails-templater/templater.rb
