I have installed gitlab with the omnibus package on a Ubuntu-based machine, on which I'm trying to develop a rails app as well. Since gitlab installs ruby and the rails framework for itself, could I be able to use it to create new rails applications? When I run gitlab-rails new app_name under my home directory I get an error message that reads:

/usr/bin/gitlab-rails error: could not load /opt/gitlab/etc/gitlab-rails/gitlab-rails-rc
Either you are not allowed to read the file, or it does not exist yet.
You can generate it with: sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure

And when I run sudo gitlab-rails new app_name I get:

Can't initialize a new Rails application within the director of another, please change to a non-Rails directory first.
Type 'rails' for help

I've tried to run this under newly created, empty directories, but keep getting the same message. I assume gitlab-rails tries to create the new app under the gitlab project directory for some reason?

As far as I know, this isn't the purpose of the gitlab-rails command and isn't a supported functionality. It'd be a much better idea to create a new Rails app by just using the Rails gem itself.
