How to include twitter bootstrap in my Rails project manually (without using any gems)?

I\'m learning Rails and want to play with Rails and Twitter Bootstrap. My Rails project layout is:

├─assets

├─c

I ran into the same trouble, and didn't want to have to install gems, etc.

There's a much easier solution.

Just override the icon selectors for background image in your custom CSS.

[class^="icon-"], [class*=" icon-"] {
  background-image: url("/assets/img/glyphicons-halflings.png");
}
[class^="icon-white"], [class*=" icon-white"] {
  background-image: url("/assets/img/glyphicons-halflings-white.png");
}

Put the glyphicons PNGs in app/assets/images/img/ (or wherever you want) and you're done.
