Why this step?

[Janet Riley]

At http://www.railsbridgeboston.org/curriculum/running_your_application_locally,

Step 1 says:

Step 1

We'll need to add two more files and move another to make the application work. Type this on the command line:

mkdir public/assets
mkdir public/javascripts
mkdir public/stylesheets
mv app/assets/images/rails.png public/assets
touch public/javascripts/application.js
touch public/stylesheets/application.css

If you're curious what these commands are doing, ask a teaching assistant.

Why is this necessary?  I started the application fine without doing this, although haven't worked through everything. 

Is this a holdover from --skip-sprockets?  Margaret  realized that argument was no longer needed, as the underlying incompatibility issue has been resolved.

If it isn't necessary, I'll remove the step.  If it is, I'd like to add a more satisfying explanation.

Thanks-

Janet

I remember those as needing to be done if you skip sprockets; if
you're not doing that anymore, this step is not needed.

Thanks.  I removed the --skip-sprockets and closed related github issues.

Hey

Classes just wrapped up and I noticed that railsbridge is tonight! Is there a need for more people to help out?
