Setting up a new Rails app, with thoughtbot/suspenders, and my own preferences.

A new Rails app

It goes a little something like this:

1. rails new APP_NAME --database=postgresql --skip-test-unit
2. suspenders APP_NAME --skip-git true --skip-keeps true --force

Then comes a whole bunch of customizing for my likes:

1. unicorn -> puma
2. Remove staging env
3. background workers

• remove worker from Procfile until we add Sidekiq
• remove delayed_job from Gemfile

4. bin/setup

• port 5000
• fix db setup
• add foreman

5. add mailcatcher
6. remove gems:

• airbrake
• flutie
• formulaic
• launchy
• newrelic_rpm
• shoulda-matchers
• timecop

7. remove capybara-webkit

• .travis.yml
• rails_helper.rb

8. .travis.yml

• Postgres 9.4
• all branches
• send email notifications

9. app/controllers/application_controller.rb

• add_flash_types :error, :success

10. remove config/initializers/json_encoding.rb
11. add heroku support

• SMTP settings
• gem 'rails_12factor', group: :production
• gem 'rails_stdout_logging', group: :development
• bin/deploy

This list is not complete, but does represent a large portion of what I do to get a new Rails app set up, "My Way™."
