Create a new app with latest Rails
Here is how to create a new Rails app that runs on Rails 7.1 beta1
gem install -v 7.1.0.beta1 rails
rails _7.1.0.beta1_ new myrails71app
Replace myrails71app with your own app name and you are good to go.
This will generate a Gemfile that has something like this inside and then install required gems for Rails 7.1.0.beta1
# Gemfile
gem "rails", "~> 7.1.0.beta1"
Here is how to create a new Rails app that runs on Rails main branch from GitHub:
rails new myrailsapp --main
This will generate a Gemfile that has something like this inside:
gem "rails", github: "rails/rails", branch: "main"
May you have a lot of ideas to try!
