When using rails new, the following gems are automatically included in a Gemfile:

gem 'sass-rails',   '~> 3.1.5'
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 3.1.1'

I’m not a huge fan of SASS, and I strongly dislike Coffeescript, and it’s getting annoying having .scss and .js.coffee files in every new project.

How can I remove these gems from rails new so that they won’t be included by default in every new project?

Thanks for any responses in advance.

    To answer your question: You can always create your own template.rb and pass that into rails new using the --template or -m option. RailsWizard will even generate a template for you.

    Let me also say that the default template doesn’t generates any .scss or .coffee files, but it is a little annoying that the gems are bundled automatically. Mostly, though, you could ignore that they’re installed–just remove those two lines from your Gemfile.
