Is there a ruby alternative to python templer?

Question

In Python there is common to generate application skeletons with ZopeSkel. Recently ZopeSkel was refactored to define a new module named templer. In the process of creating skeletons templer not only copy dirs, also set values in template files, ask to the user and run processes.

I don't know something similar in Ruby. Is there a similar project?

Answer 1

The Monk project does just that. If you look around you'll find plenty of other people's skels to use too.

Answer 2

For Rails there are a couple of "custom" generators:
