Announcing Fuselage - Get your Rails project off to a flying start!
Fuselage takes all the hassle out of installing several popular gems/plugins manually, as well as tidying up the default setup that the "rails" command gives you.
What's different about Fuselage? A lot of the Rails templates out there at the moment are quite primitive - a bunch of commands & files shoved in to a single file. Fuselage has a separate template for each gem/plugin, allowing you to specify all the relevant installs/commands/files/etc in one place. The goal here is to capture a lot of the setup logic that most Rails gems have in a single, reusable template. Fuselage avoids asking a lot of questions, so if you want to customize your install, edit "template.rb" manually.Usage is very simple. You can invoke it directly from your "rails -m" command with; rails app_name -m http://github.com/siyelo/fuselage/raw/master/template.rb (note this does a git clone of Fuselage for you automatically) Or if you prefer, grab your own clone from http://github.com/siyelo/fuselage and set the FUSELAGE_DIR environment variable.
