Twitter bootstrap: do I need both bootstrap-sass and twitter-bootstrap-rails gems?

Question

I have the following entries my (Rails 3.2.13) Gemfile:

gem \'twitter-bootstrap-rails\'
gem \'bootstrap-sass\'

and in app/assets/javascripts/ap

Answer 1

If you want to use SASS you should use boostrap-sass or bootstrap-sass-rails. Twitter-bootstrap-rails uses LESS source. If you were to include both there would probably be conflicts. All of them include javascript for bootstrap already and integrate into the asset pipeline.

I personally use LESS version as it is what bootstrap is originally written in. (might get faster releases when bootstrap updates)

It's generally good to check the gems out on github to evaluate your exact needs and which version of Rails they support.
