• Creates your database.yml
  • Prompts for db name
• Generates .gitignore
  • Contains commonly ignored Rails files, vendor/plugins, and anything created by app_helpers
• Generates config/plugins.rb
  • see plugins:update
• Copies helper templates to app/views/app_helpers
• Sets up app/widgets
  • Copies javascripts, which contains the latest MooTools version and other libraries/extensions
  • Copies stylesheets, which contains the Tbl helper stylesheet
  • Clones the widgets repository

Prompts for a database name and generates config/database.yml for you.

Clones the plugins from config/plugins.rb into vendor/plugins unless they exist.

Runs the following commands on every git repository in the project:

git checkout master
git pull origin master

Sends the output of a block to a partial as the local variable body.

Example:

= block_to_partial ‘some_partial’, :locals => { :x => 0 } do
Two local variables will be sent to the partial; ‘x’ (0) and ‘body’ (this text).

Renders an HTML javascript tag with the code window.location=url.

Uses the partials in app/views/app_helpers/tbl to generate CSS tables (rows of content with specific column widths).

Include the following in your site-wide SASS:

.row
:overflow hidden
.parent
:float left
:display block

The view:

- tbl :row, :your_identifier, :px, 100, 200, 300 do
– tbl :cell, :your_identifier do
Row 1, Cell 1
– tbl :cell, :your_identifier do
Row 1, Cell 2
– tbl :cell, :your_identifier do
Row 1, Cell 3
– tbl :cell, :your_identifier do
Row 2, Cell 1
– tbl :cell, :your_identifier do
Row 2, Cell 2
– tbl :cell, :your_identifier do
Row 2, Cell 3

Note: Change :px to '%' for percentage widths.

See [rails_widget](https://github.com/winton/rails_widget) for a javascript implementation of Tbl.

Like truncate, but does the job without cutting words in half.
