I’m living on trunk/edge, and I use this shellscript to create new rails apps.
I have a Rails trunk checked out and ready. This is what the shellscript does:
#!/usr/bin/env bash EDGE_IS_AT="/path/to/your_own/rails_trunk" svn up $EDGE_IS_AT ruby "$EDGE_IS_AT/railties/bin/rails" $@
I stored that in a file called ‘edgerails’, added it to a bin directory, and hey ho!
edgerails new_app_name
It ups the trunk to the very latest version, and creates the rails app with the rails command of the edge rails. Yep!
