Question

I ran across a tutorial that had the following syntax:

rails generate model User name:string -s

What is the -s for?

Thanks

Answer 1

Typing in rails generate model --help would give you the answer you need:

Runtime options:
  -f, [--force]    # Overwrite files that already exist
  -p, [--pretend]  # Run but do not make any changes
  -q, [--quiet]    # Supress status output
  -s, [--skip]     # Skip files that already exist

On the last part you see:

Skip files that already exist
