## Not Maintained Anymore! **Please note that RailsBricks is currently not maintained. I leave it here for legacy purpose. If you want to take over, [contact me](https://twitter.com/nicoschuele).** ## Features * replaces the `rails new` command with `rbricks -n` * includes useful gems and sets them up for you * offers different UI choices for your web app * creates and configures a Devise authentication scheme * adds the necessary resources for a blog, contact form, and more * builds an admin zone * configures your mailers * inits local and remote git repositories * ...and much more to boost your productivity! ## Prerequisites In order to use RailsBricks, you need the following: * A nix-based OS. That can be any flavour of Linux or OS X * Ruby (version 2.0+) * Some knowledge of Rails (!) ## What about Windows? **RailsBricks doesn't run out of the box on Windows**. You will first need to install the [DevKit](http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/) as well as the [tzinfo-data](https://github.com/tzinfo/tzinfo-data) gem. ## Ruby support RailsBricks generates Rails apps with support for the current major Ruby release (currently, 2.0.0) + the current point release and the previous one, for example 2.2.2 & 2.2.3. If you need to use another version of Ruby, you will have to manually edit the Gemfile after the app gets created and update the following line with your chosen version number: `ruby '2.1.5'` ## Install Like any other gem, you simply issue `gem install railsbricks` **Notice:** If you still have RailsBricks 1.x installed, remove it manually *before* installing RailsBricks 3.x ## Usage To create a new app, just type `rbricks --new` and follow the wizard. ## Contribute RailsBricks is currently not maintained and not accepting pull requests anymore.
