Which rails command creates index.html?

Question

I'm maintaining an old, undocumented rails application. The app/views/application directory has an index.html.haml file, but the public directory doesn't have an index.html file. Which rails command do I need to run to generate the index file in the public directory? I'm using apache as my web server and passenger as my app server.

rails generate command generates controllers or scaffolds for you. If you want to create a view, you need to generate a corresponding controller in the controllers folder, plus a route in the route.rb file with the views to show on the web in views folder. I can help you better if I knew the exact problem you are trying to solve. You can use this answer for generating controller and view as a reference.
