Question

I have setup a project skeleton for my Rails apps, and I want to make this skeleton the default project skeleton for newly created apps.

One way is to modify the project template files for Rails (if there are any, which I am not sure). This (if possible) will be over-written each time Rails is updated.

Does anyone have a better idea how to do this?

Answer 1

You can create your own application template.

This can be passed to the rails new command:

rails new app_name -m your_template

Where your_template is either a filesystem path or an URL.

To make this your default, create a ~/.railsrc file and add

-m your_template
