Creating a new Revel application

Use the Revel command line tool to create an empty project in your GOPATH and run it:

$ cd $GOPATH

$ revel new myapp
~
~ revel! http://robfig.github.com/revel
~
Your application is ready:
    /Users/robfig/code/gocode/src/myapp

You can run it with:
    revel run myapp

$ revel run myapp
~
~ revel! http://robfig.github.com/revel
~

2012/09/27 17:01:54 harness.go:112: Listening on :9000

Open your browser to http://localhost:9000/ to see a notification that your app is ready.
