Rails basic template

A Rails 4 basic template.

Process

1. Application configuration with figaro
2. Add database.yml and application.yml to .gitignore
3. Create database.example.yml and application.example.yml based on the default files
4. Configure minitest-rails
5. Use turn's dot format for test results
6. Generators configuration: use spec format for minitest and don't generate assets and helpers
7. Slim as the default template engine (using slim-rails)

• Remove application.html.erb and create application.html.slim
• Pretty html output on development (Slim::Engine.set_default_options pretty: true)

8. Development goodies

• Pry as console and debugger (using pry-rails)
