Running `ghoul server` and going to localhost:3003 just returned a 500 error. I had to read the readme carefully before I noticed that you said that ghoul looks in the ~/repos directory but when the directory is missing, the app doesn't do anything except raise a 500 error.
I think you need to do two things:
1) the app should return a bit of docs stating that it tried to look in your ~/repos but found no folder.
2) you might want to add to README that if you have your repos somewhere else (in my case I have it under ~/code/rails_apps) that you can symlink them using:
`ln -s ~/code/rails_apps ~/repos`
That command made ghoul worked perfectly.

Keep up the great work!
