When talking about templates in Rails, usually people mean the templates which help to re-use views, but this templates is a feature after Rails 2.3 for generating Rails application easily, so give it a try if you haven’t used it yet.

It’s helpful for me to create Rails application according to similar skeleton, a sample below was written about one year ago, but recently I want to create a new application with the same environment/configuration.

There are several useful commands which help you write powerful templates, you can learn more good examples here. or watch Ryan’s Railscasts about App Templates in Rails 2.3.

Enjoy it.
