A boilerplate project template for Ruby to kickstart behaviour-driven development using RSpec.

I prefer guard to autotest/autospec. It's file watcher is easily configured and very versatile. Running spork in the background speeds up the testing process even more.

You won't like to inherit this repository's revision history. Here's how to checkout the plain project files only.

You need to clone this repository on your machine before you proceed.

The following command will checkout the boilerplate to /full/path/to/new/project/. It'll overwrite existing files.

cd /path/to/rspec-guard-spork-boilerplate/
git checkout-index -f -a --prefix=/full/path/to/new/project/ 
#        the trailing slash is super important!  ----------^

This will copy all files from the boilerplate's index to the path specified for --prefix=. The destination path must end with a slash or else unexpected things will happen.

You could also use git-archive and re-use the archive to kickstart projects:

git archive -o archive.tar HEAD

Shorthand for archiving and extracting at a destination of your choice:

git archive --format=tar --prefix=your-project-name/ HEAD | (cd your/projects/folder && tar xf -)

Just install the bundles:

bundle install

Simply type

guard

and there you are.
