Bretels

Bretels is the base Rails application used at brightin. Big thanks to thoughtbot for providing such a great starting point.

First install the bretels gem:

gem install bretels

Then run:

bretels projectname

This will create a Rails 4.2 app in projectname. This script creates a new git repository. It is not meant to be used against an existing repo.

Some gems included have native extensions. You should have GCC installed on your machine before generating an app with Bretels.

Use OS X GCC Installer for Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6).

Use Command Line Tools for XCode for Lion (OS X 10.7) or Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8).

We use PhantomJS for full-stack Javascript integration testing.

PostgreSQL needs to be installed and running for the db:create rake task.
