Template generator for Ruby on Rails 3 applications

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:

After cloning the rails-templater to your hard drive, you can generate a new app like so:

If you want to use Active Record with MySql: rails new application_name -T -m /path/to/rails-templater/templater.rb
