Boxcar is the base Rails application used at Smashing Boxes. It is heavily inspired by thoughtbot's suspenders.
First install the boxcar gem (eventually, we'll have it published on rubygems, but there's some naming conflicts at the moment):
git clone git@github.com:smashingboxes/boxcar.git
cd boxcar
bundle install
bin/boxcar new path/to/project_name
Don't forget to replace path/to/project_name
with the actual path. For example, if you want to
make a hello world app, you might run bin/boxcar new ~/repos/hello-world
.
If you'd like to contribute to Boxcar, please see CONTRIBUTING.md.
