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

Rails Templater will generate the following:

• Uses Haml as the template engine
• Uses Sass for generating CSS

• Uses Active Record as the default ORM

• RSpec for testing
• factory_girl for fixture replacement
• shoulda for ActiveModel RSpec matchers
• fracture for unified view/controller specs
• timecop for testing time dependant code

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
