Rename a Rails Project:

Ever wanted to change your rails project name?
Didn't want to have the trouble to update 11 files:

• app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
• config/application.rb
• config/environment.rb
• config/environments/development.rb
• config/environments/production.rb
• config/environments/test.rb
• config/initializers/secret_token.rb
• config/initializers/session_store.rb
• config/routes.rb
• config.ru
• Rakefile

Here's a rake task that does it... This is suppa-beta-1.0 :)

Maybe there's a project "out there" that does the exact same thing.
And better...cleaner...faster...sexier...well...well
i did this for the purpose of learning ...

My environment:

• Mac OS X 10.6.1 (yeah! i have to update i know!)
• ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18 revision 30909)
• rails 3.1
• rvm 1.6.18 by Wayne E. Seguin

How to use it:

git clone [email protected]:tatiC/rename_rails_project.git

cd your_rails_project_dir

run: rake rails:template LOCATION=your_path/rename_rails_project.rb

If everything goes OK this will prompt to you: Name of your new awesome rails project

The "hard part" is now my friend! Name your new rails app name and hit enter! Good luck!

ToDo:

DONE:Rename the project folder (after running the rake task i had to change dir, and then comeback to the new folder)

DONE:The code that renames the other 10 files and the app_name_folder :)
