Description:
The 'rails new' command creates a new Rails application with a default
directory structure and configuration at the path you specify.
You can specify extra command-line arguments to be used every time
'rails new' runs in the .railsrc configuration file in your home directory.
Note that the arguments specified in the .railsrc file don't affect the
defaults values shown above in this help message.
Example:
rails new ~/Code/Ruby/weblog
This generates a skeletal Rails installation in ~/Code/Ruby/weblog.
See the README in the newly created application to get going.
I found that, the project missing config/application.rb and Gemfile files. So what can I do with this problem, should I add these files by my own or any other solution?

Answer 1

rails new . inside folder with the project you pulled, dont overwrite files when prompted (also there is a huge possibility that project you're pulling is missing some config files)
