Creating a Skeleton Rails Application without Database and Test Unit

1. 1. Create application without database access and test unit

       $ rails new [app_name] --skip-active-record --skip-test-unit
   

2. Include Bootstrap
   • Download Bootstrap and extract content
   • Copy bootstrap.min.css and bootstrap.css to /app/assets/css folder
   • Copy bootstrap.min.js and bootstrap.js to /app/assets/js folder
   • Copy fonts folder to /app/assets folder
   Note: The reason why I put bootstrap.css in the main root of asset folder is so I can create a file (ex: custom.css) that will over ride the Bootstrap.css rules in case I want to.
3. Create main controller that will serve as root file.

    $ rails generate controller main_controller index --no-assets --no-helper

4. Set the root route to main_controller#index

       root 'main_controller#index'
