OVERVIEW

The template will create a new Rails app and then:

• add authlogic and create working User and UserSession models, controllers, and views
• install haml and sass
• remove junk like public/index.html
• add jquery
• add reset.css
• create and run a script/mkdb script that will reload the db with sample data
• create a new git repo and add everything to it

CAVEATS

This Rails template assumes you'll be creating the new rails project next to this template directory. A bad assumption, I know -- I'll fix it as soon as I know how to reference the location of the template as a variable (the way you can get the rails path with @root).

INSTALLING

Put this template dir in the same location you want the new rails app. If it started as an empty dir, template/ will be the only thing in there, like this:

$ ls template

Run the rails command and pass in the main template:

$ rails foo -m ./rails-template/main.template.rb

This will prompt once for your password (when you run sudo rake gems:install), but other than that it's all automated.
