CSS used to convert a link_to into a button
<%= link_to "Home", "/home", class: "btn-style" %>
.btn-style {
// padding adds the space between the text so no centering is needed and also no height/width
padding: 10px 15px;
background-color: green;
color: #FFF;
// add borders and other touch ups to make it feel more like a button
}
