Ladies and Gentlemen

As original posted on [github](https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/25772#issue-164738525):

I understand that the project disallows cosmetic changes but:

- Some projects follow stylistic rules (even rails does)
- Rubocop is quick to set up, and configure (even rails uses it)
- For initial generations, additional work is required in new rails project to ensure lint compliance.
- The best way to make sure a project is compliant with a developer’s lint preferences is to make it compliant with all the linter’s modules If I could take the time to ensure `rails new app` generates a rubocop compliant skeleton app, will the maintainers consider merging the code?

This will essentially reduce the time it takes to scaffold a project and would be a backwards compatible feature.

This feature could then be extended to ensure all the `generate` commands make lint compliant code.
