Rails - Understanding application.js and application.css

Question

New to rails. Just trying to understand these two files in the \\assests directory.

For example, the application.js file has lines such as:

//= require j         


        

Answer 1

I think it gets them from the gem(s) that are installed on your system and included in this project via your Gemfile.
