Ruby on Rails

I think I'm convinced to go via rails engine as doing via git branches makes it difficult to manage later on ( as Allen suggested ) but as the SupportSystem is already half way through, Can i turn that app into rails engine using any scripts/tools without having to create a new project and move the code over. We're planning to follow this

Hi guys, 

Intro - Me and a few members have developed a self hosted support system on rails 4 and we are building more features around it so that projects can easily adapt it. 

Problem - Customizing the project for another client without effecting the core project. 

What we're trying to do - 

1. Support Project will have features added by a couple of members in our team regularly. 

2. MyCustomSupportProject is a fork of SupportProject. 

3. We want to pull in SupportProject new features into MyCustomSupportProject and still have MyCustomSupportProject features being added without conflicting with SupportProject features. 

Is there a way to handle a situation without using rails engine / gem? 

Any recommendations to handle a situation like this in a clean way ? 

Thanks
