Bash script for creating new rails project and initial SVN import (with ignoring/removing log/other files)

Posted by Akhil Bansal

Many times we need to create a new rails project and import it to SVN repository. Each time we have to repeat same commands for creating new rails project, Initial import to SVN, Ignoring *.log files, move database.yml to database.example, ignoring tmp/sessions etc.. etc..

So I have written a bash script that do all this stuff, all you need to do is copy this create_rails_with_subversion_2 to any of your directory with name “create_rails_with_subversion” and execute this script by issuing ./create_rails_with_subversion & follow screen instructions.

This will:

create a new rails project
initial import to SVN
remove and ignore all log files from svn
remove and ignore sessions, cache sockets files from tmp dir
move database.yml to database.example
ignore database.yml

Download create_rails_with_subversion_2

I also love to have your feedbacks…

UPDATE: I have modified this script, now it doesn’t remove tmp dir, it just ignore content in tmp/sessions, tmp/sockets and tmp/caches :)

UPDATE2: Script again modified , now it also freeze rails (you have to specify version).

cool script. thanks for posting…btw, the word ‘terminating’ is misspelled. also, it might be nice to have a message at the end that indicates the script finished successfully.

Wow! Great! :D
One thing I’d add is add an svn:ignore for *.db, *.sqlite and *.sqlite3 in db/, so the sqlite databases are ignored :)

Thanks for the script!
