If you'd like to try your hand at maintaining this project, I'm happy to give you commit access.

This gem is meant to be used with bootstrap-sass. It gives you complete scss versions of bootswatches for use in your Rails asset pipeline, just like bootstrap-sass gives you scss version of bootstrap itself.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile, in assets group:

gem 'bootswatch-rails'

And then execute:

$ bundle

When using bootstrap-sass, it's recommended to avoid sprockets in your stylesheets. In order to do that you simply rename your application.css file to application.css.scss, remove all sprockets comments, and instead use sass @import commands. These commands are smart enough to fully support asset pipeline load paths, thanks to sass-rails gem.

Here's approximately how your application.css.scss file should look like, considering that you're using bootstrap-sass.

// Example using 'Cerulean' bootswatch

//Import bootstrap-sprockets
@import "bootstrap-sprockets";
// Import cerulean variables
@import "bootswatch/cerulean/variables";
// Then bootstrap itself
@import "bootstrap";
// Bootstrap body padding for fixed navbar
body { padding-top: 60px; }
// And finally bootswatch style itself
@import "bootswatch/cerulean/bootswatch";
// Whatever application styles you have go last
@import "base";

Since version 3.1 it's possible to override variables.

// First set or import your overrides
$textColor: #000;
// Then load variables
@import "bootswatch/journal/variables";
// Then the rest as shown above...

Please see CONTRIBUTING for more detail. (Dont change the scss files by hand, use the converter and rearranger first, and make your changes in those if possible)

I am trying to automate this project as much as possible, so I wrote a script that does most of the work converting less to scss. If you want to contribute a fix that's easily automatable and you know ruby, please add a processor to the converter.

Big thanks to these guys.
