Working with multiple versions of Rails

http://blog.fiveruns.com/2008/8/6/quickly-switching-between-different-rails-releases-with-git

1. Clone the whole Rails repository so you can switch versions offline

git clone git://github.com/rails/rails.git

2. Checkout desired version from local copy

cd /path/to/cloned/rails
git checkout v1.2.6


3. Create a skeleton rails app with the version of rails from the local repository


ruby /path/to/cloned/rails/railties/bin/rails skeleton-1.2.6


4.Copy the cloned rails to the skeleton app’s vendor directory


cp /path/to/cloned/rails skeleton-1.2.6/vendor/


Alternately, you can create skeleton apps with specific versions and freeze


rake rails:freeze:edge RELEASE=1.2.6

(Revision not set, using HEAD)


Or to create a project with a specific version of rails (with gem installed), use underscores around the version number :


ruby rails _1.2.5_ skeleton
