To use these generator templates I recommend adding this function to your bash profile.

function railsapp {
  template=$1
  appname=$2
  shift 2
  rails $appname -m http://github.com/galfert/rails-templates/raw/master/$template.rb $@
}

You can then use this “railsapp” command instead of the traditional “rails” one. Simply pass the template name as the first argument:

railsapp base store

That will generate a Rails app using the base.rb template found here.
