Usage: rails COMMAND [ARGS]
The most common rails commands are:
generate Generate new code (short‐cut alias: "g")
c
console Start the Rails console (short‐cut alias: " ")
s
server Start the Rails server (short‐cut alias: " ")
dbconsole Start a console for the database specified in config/database.yml
(short‐cut alias: "db")
In addition to those, there are:
application Generate the Rails application code
destroy Undo code generated with "generate"
benchmarker See how fast a piece of code runs
profiler Get profile information from a piece of code
plugin Install a plugin
runner Run a piece of code in the application environment
All commands can be run with ‐h for more information.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/beautifulcodeinrails3-greggpollack-100218130149-phpapp02/85/Rails-3-Beautiful-Code-3-320.jpg)
