Duplicate RoR applications?

Hi,

I have a simple question for when ruby on rails, say I want to create two apps and I am currently working on one but essentially the other app will need exactly the same things up to this stage can I just duplicate the folder which contains all the files and use it again?

Thanks in advance

Sure, but you do need to consider changing your db names, otherwise you will be hitting the same one. Also, if you do not use git, consider using it as it can help, and you can fork and branch repos… as well you want to consider maintenance – will there be shared aspects of the two apps which you really just want to update once rather on each instance every time you have to make a change…

Probably more than you wanted to hear, but basically, yes, you can dup the folder and run from there.

Thanks alot
