How to rename a rails 5 application?

Question

Is the rename gem the best way to rename my rails 5 app?

Also, is there any notes I have to keep in mind when renaming my app?

Answer 1

A 'find and replace' approach is risky because it could break urls or routes.

Instead, add gem 'rename' to your gemfile, and run bundle install

Then simply:

rails g rename:into your_new_app_name
