You can learn a lot about doing specific customizations by reading about them. I recommend Chris Oliver's Jumpstart and RailsBytes, the latter of which is a community-curated collection of templates.

  There is also Thoughtbot's Suspenders, which inspired me to dig deeper into Rails generators and templates. I even wrote my own application template — Schienenzeppelin — which, while not up-to-date, might still provide some inspiration.
