avb/rails3-templates

A set of Rails templates that we use at AENTOS to get our projects started really quickly and concentrate and developing customer value.

Usage

• If you are using Rails >= 3.0.4: rails new app_name -J -m https://github.com/aentos/rails3-templates/main.rb

• If you are using an older version of Rails 3, there is a bug in Rails that prevents from using https URLs in the template paths. This was fixed in Rails 3.0.4. More info here. You will have to clone this repo and then provide a relative path on your filesystem, e.g.: rails new app_name -J -m rails3-templates/main.rb
