rails: Create a new rails project.
$ rails new "${project_name}"
try on your machine

The command rails new "${project_name}" is used to create a new Ruby on Rails application with a specific project name.

Here's a breakdown of the different elements in the command:

  • rails: refers to the Rails command-line tool used for creating and managing Rails applications.
  • new: is a command that tells Rails to create a new application.
  • ${project_name}: This is a placeholder that represents the name you want to give to your project. You can replace ${project_name} with an actual name for your application.

When you run this command, Rails will create a new directory with the provided project name (e.g., if the project name is "myapp", a directory named "myapp" will be created). Inside this directory, Rails will generate all the necessary files and folders to set up a new Rails application with a basic structure.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
