# Generate A Rails App From The Main Branch
|
|
|
|
Typically you are going to want to generate a Rails app using some officially
|
|
released version of the framework. These releases have been thoroughly tested,
|
|
have received patches, and can guarantee a certain level of stability.
|
|
|
|
However, if you are wanting to try out the latest, unreleased features, you may
|
|
want to generate a fresh Rails app based off the current state of the `main`
|
|
branch of the `rails` repository.
|
|
|
|
To do this, add the `--main` flag:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ rails new rails_app_on_main --main
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Toward the top of your app's `Gemfile`, you'll see that `rails` is pointed to
|
|
the `main` branch of their repo:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
# Use main development branch of Rails
|
|
gem "rails", github: "rails/rails", branch: "main"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See `rails new --help` for more details
