Git: How to start a new rails project and put it on GitHub

Create a new Rails project:

$> rails new <project_name>

Put your rails project under local version control:

$> cd 
$> git init .
</pre>

Edit the .gitignore file:
.bundle
db/*.sqlite3
log/*.log
tmp/**/*
doc/api
doc/app
*.swp
*~
.project
webrat.log


Commit:
$> git add .
$> git commit -am "Initial commit"


Go to [GitHub](http://www.github.com) and create a new project

Add your github master:

    $> git remote add origin git@github.com:/.git
    $> git push -u origin master

That's it!

After that, a regular commit looks like that:
$> git add .
$> git commit -am "Your commit message"


Pushing to GitHub:
$> git push
