Ruby on Rails template "extend" as in Django

I came from Django and Python background to RoR. My question in simple. Let's say, I have one application.html.erb layout.

I want to make another layout called management.html.erg which will inherit application.html.erb and be able to use its yields and so on.

Something like {% extends "template.html" %} in django.

You are looking for ActionView helper content_for and yield. See guide about Layouts and Rendering in Rails for a brief overview and apidock for detailed documentation.

yield is an analogue of Django's block tag

content_for is an analogue of extends tag.

Layout for which the content is selected is driven from a controller so there is no point to manually specify its name like in Django.
