# Alter The Rails Setup Script
When you generate a new Rails app, a set of scripts are put in the `bin/`
folder of your new app. These _bin scripts_ are ruby scripts that you can use
to run `rails` commands, `rake` commands, as well as `setup` your rails
project.
These scripts can be modified like you'd modify any other ruby code.
In fact, the `setup` scripts encourages you to modify it by providing an
example of an additional setup step you can add.
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require "fileutils"
# ...
FileUtils.chdir APP_ROOT do
# This script is a way to set up or update your development environment automatically.
# This script is idempotent, so that you can run it at any time and get an expectable outcome.
# Add necessary setup steps to this file.
puts "\n== Installing dependencies =="
system! "gem install bundler --conservative"
system("bundle check") || system!("bundle install")
# puts "\n== Copying sample files =="
# unless File.exist?("config/database.yml")
# FileUtils.cp "config/database.yml.sample", "config/database.yml"
# end
# ...
end
```
There are several steps built in, but it provides an example of how you can
copy a sample YAML file to be the actual version of that YAML file.
