rails application templates
Rails application templates are Ruby scripts used with the "rails new app_name -m" command to generate a Rails web application. They are often used to generate “starter apps” that can be the basis of many application development projects.
Many developers have developed Rails application templates. This is a list of notable projects.
Also see an annotated list of Rails Examples, Tutorials, and Starter Apps.
