Usage "rails new my_cool_app -m path/to/template.rb *My template.rb file for taking care of some of the boring basic configuration of a new rails app, create the repo and push it to Github. *Using mini-test / capybara / guard / spring / postgres.app

#add guard-minitest and spring to dev
gem_group :development do
  gem 'guard-minitest'
  gem 'spring'
end

gem_group :test do
  gem 'minitest-rails-capybara'
end

run "bundle install"

#install minitest test_helper
