Git-Rails

git-rails is a simple tool to help manage your rails app with git.

Currently, it provides 3 helpful commands:

Init

Initializes a git repository, and links to remote url if provided (for push/pull)
Also creates a .gitignore file with:

log/*.log
tmp/**/*
.DS_Store
public/cache/**/*
doc/api
doc/app

Example

git-rails init -m "message" -c git@gitorious.org:rur/mainline.git

Install

Installs a plugin (managed by git) from a remote git repository

Example

git-rails install git://gitorious.org/rur/mainline.git plugin-name

Update

Updates a plugin from original source

Example

git-rails update rur

Getting started

gem install git-rails
