How do I use my rails3 generator in all my projects?

I wrote a generator that I'd like to use in my Rails3 projects using Thor (which I absolutely love).

How would I go about using my generator in all my rails3 projects? i.e. how do I install it?

If the answer is to make a gem out of it - could y开发者_开发技巧ou please describe the rails3 process of doing so?

Thanks!

Yep, make a gem!

In terms of loading your generator it's pretty much as simple as putting your generator files in lib/generators/#{generator_name}/ in the gem. See the generators guide for a little more explanation of how they're loaded.

Check out some gems which do this such as rails3-generators gem. rspec-rails, machinist for examples.
