This template is only tested and verified with Rails 3.2.*

Simple template for customizing the rails environment

Here's how you use this template when creating a new rails app:

rails new myapp -m https://raw.github.com/CTA/cta-template/master/cta-template.rb

If for some reason this doesn't work you can download the file and run:

rails new myapp -m cta-template.rb

List of modifications to a regular rails app:

• Changes the database.yml to postgres defaults and creates a database.yml.example.
• Adds a .gitignore with more common files.
• Adds test environment generator lines to config/application.rb.
• Adds custom spec_helper.rb file.
• Installs Rspec instead of Test::Unit.
• Converts application.html.erb to application.html.haml.
• Sets up gemfile with some common gems.

Also I have provided a sample_app that was generated through this template.
