xRails is a base Rails application that you can upgrade.

Installation

First install the xRails gem:

gem install xrails

Then run:

xrails create projectname

This will create a Rails 3 app in `projectname'. This script creates a new git repository. It is not meant to be used against an existing repo.

It includes application gems like:

And testing gems like:

• Cucumber for integration testing
• Webrat for acceptance tests
• Database Cleaner for cleaning your database
• RSpec for awesome, readable isolation testing
