This is the source code for the sinatra-template project on github.
It's the basic structure I use for my Sinatra projects and it make things a bit more organized.

What's inside?

• Modular Sinatra app version 1.3.2 using ruby 1.9.3-p125
• minitest for unit-level tests
• rack-test for routes tests
• capybara + minitest for integration tests (no need for rspec)
• yard for documentation
• Rakefile, Gemfile, .rvmrc, .gitignore
