Hi,

I am using Netbeans 6.1 for my Rails Projects.

I have seen that many projects on GitHub, do not offer the code in zip formats for downloads, hence it becomes very tough to copy the code step by step and paste it in Netbeans.

for example i am looking for this project... http://github.com/kless/chuckslist/tree/master

How can i download the entire project straight to netbeans to make it running.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Look harder. Try clicking the 'download' link for example.

If it helps, NetBeans 6.5 Beta uses a newer version of JRuby with a smaller footprint.

On my machine, 6.1 JRuby would simply run out of memory trying to perform a Gem Update.

what i do is install git on my local machine, open up my shell, cd to my netbeans directory, clone the app using the address provided on the projects git page. git clone git://github.com/kless/chuckslist.git then in netbeans, create new project, select project type of existing rails app, the wizzard asks a couple qustions, then you should be all set.
