All these useful tips (and more!) taken from http://ruby.railstutorial.org/chapters/

This is based on Rails 3.2, but should work on Rails 4.0.

Create Rails app

(skip standard test unit and instead will use RSpec)

$ cd ~/rails_projects

This script creates a new task in Omnifocus inbox, parsing a text file's content to create the task.
I use it to quickly create tasks from Android, using IFTTT's DO Note widget.

Installation (on the computer where you use Omnifocus):
- Setup this IFTTT applet: https://ifttt.com/applets/47483145d-send-to-omnifocus
(Basically a DO Note to a Dropbox folder, with the note as the file content)
- Put a copy of the script in /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts or ~/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts.
