Installing a Rails plugin from a github branch
Posted by javier ramirez on October 13, 2010
Today I wanted to install a plugin from github into a rails project. So far so good, you would think. You only need to run script/plugin install and start coding right away.
Unfortunately, the branch of the plugin I need is not the master one, because this applications runs on rails 2.3.x and the master branch has been adapted to rails 3 already.
I could just download the tar file from github, or I could make a git clone and checkout the branch I wanted.. but it turns out I don’t need to do any of those, because old good script/plugin has an option to checkout a specific branch
script/plugin install http://github.com/rails/exception_notification.git -r 2-3-stable
And I can start coding right away.. and that’s exactly what I’m going to do after publishing this post.

hey my spammy friend.. just a quick note to let you know wordpress adds a “nofollow” to all the links, so you are not getting any SEO benefits for including your shitty comments here

FYI, this doesn’t work in Rails 3. They changed the flag and I can never remember what it is.

Maybe you want to install a specific tag
script/plugin install http://github.com/galetahub/rails-ckeditor.git -r ‘tag v3.4.1’

Does your website have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but, I’d
like to shoot you an e-mail. I’ve got some creative ideas for your
blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and
I look forward to seeing it develop over time.

Hey! This is kind of off topic but I need some
help from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog?
I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start.
Do you have any points or suggestions? With thanks
