As far as generators go, there actually are a few. The ones I'm most familiar with generate directory and file structure, and have some opinions about where best to place things. These are a few I use: - bundler gem gemname - methadone [options] cliappname - GLI [options] clisappsuitename The thor gem talks about it's use as a generator tool as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
