I’m starting to use application templates more, and because of it, figured I’d make them public. Right now, only two are public but that will change. The first is for generating a very minimal application, whereas the second is what I use for building community oriented applications. I plan to release one every type of project, whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, ActiveMerchant and so on.
One of the common trends I’m seeing with application templates, is people using it’s functionality to generate full blown applications from a single file. Although this can be an easy way to create a base app, it seems like it’d be much harder to maintain, so don’t expect that from these.
Check out the repo, I’d love for some input, your own templates, etc.
Update:
I realized I never explained how to use them. Simple:
1 | rails -m http://github.com/kris/bones/raw/master/minimal.rb your_app_name_here |
Simply select the template you want, and poof, magic app.
