Rails Starter Template

Getting Started

1. Clone/fork this repo
2. bundle install
3. rake app:rename[YourAppName]
4. (optional) Re-initialize git (rm -rf .git && git init .)
5. Run overcommit --install && overcommit --sign

Configuration

Everything is configured using environment variables so we have it all on one place.

• .env contains all the variables used by the application.
• .env.development houses settings that can be shared between developers.
• .env.test contains settings for the test environment
• .env.production this file belongs on the server; we set here all the variables (or use Heroku's variables)
• .env.local is ".gitignore'd" so each dev can override any setting

Database

Using PostgreSQL via a DATABASE_URL environment variable.

Asset Management

Using bower at vendor/assets/components.
