Commands to run after ‘rails new’

This is for Ruby on Rails and Mercurial users, such as myself 🙂

• cp .gitignore .hgignore
• .hgignore: prepend syntax:glob: sed -i ‘1i syntax: glob\n’ .hgignore
• .hgignore: sort: sed -i ‘1,2d’ .hgignore && LC_ALL=C sort .hgignore && sed -i ‘1i syntax: glob\n’ .hgignore
• echo “Gemfile.lock” >> .hgignore
• (echo ‘*.swp’ >> .hgignore; echo ‘.idea/’ >> .hgignore)
• find . -name ‘.git*’ -delete
• find . -type d -empty -exec touch {}/.keep \;
• hg init
• hg ci -Am ‘Generate project, setup .hgignore & remove .git*’

(Edit: Split add header and sort, otherwise it trunks the first 3 lines of .hgignore prematurely)

(Edit: Simplify the two modification 1-liners using sed)
