Rails - File, New Project...

Even with RubyMine starting a new project is not simply File, New Project, like the rails new command, it can only take you so far.It's not complicated to set up a new Rails project but, as something you are likely to do farily infrequently, it is easy to skip or forget steps or commands. Charles Max Wood has posted a screencast of his Rails set up at what looks to be the start of a great screencast series.Here is a terse run down of my setup:

1. rails new appname -J -T -J skips prototype files, -T skips testunit files.
2. cd appname
3. rvm --create --rvmrc 1.9.2@appname
4. rvm rvmrc trust
5. mvim . or mate . or whatever editor you use.
6. Amend the /Gemfile (Edit: I'll update these files as I improve my process, add new gems to the default set and gems are updated/changed)
7. bundle install
8. rails g rspec:install
9. rails g cucumber:install --capybara --rspec --spork
10. spork --bootstrap
11. rails g jquery:install -ui
12. rake db:create
13. Amend /.gitignore
14. git flow init Accept the git-flow defaults. I like the structure provided by git-flow and will post on it in the future to explore it more.
15. git add .
16. git commit -m "Project skeleton"
17. git remote add origin git@github.com:JohnPlummer/project_name.git
18. git push -u origin develop
19. git push -u origin master
