Interactive "rails new"

as well as better tooling and documentation for adding things you’ve said no to after the fact

I’ve got an idea for adding back gems that were opted-out of:

Add `rails install` which installs the gem and runs install generator

Every time I want to add a new gem to a project, I have to open that gem’s documentation. That’s fine…for gems that I just discovered or never used before. But for gems that I used in several other projects, I’d LOVE if I could just do rails install <gem_name> group:development and the rest is history. I don’t remember by heart what’s the exact wording of ActiveAdmin generator or Devise generator, but I used those gems 100s of times and I know exactly what those install generators would do. He…

In the case of core rails gem, like actiontext, we’d simply add install generator that wouldn’t add actiontext to Gemfile (because that’s not needed), but would instead add/uncomment require line to config/application.rb and do any other changes that bin/rails action_text:install does today.
