I’m writing a generator that adds a few files that my server will use. I’d also like to add a line to the environment.rb file. Can this be done with a generator or should I be using an app template?

Rather than modifying environment.rb, check out what you can do with Rails initializers. Basically, you’re just going to create a new Ruby .rb file within config/initializers and keep your configuration loading code in there. If you need per-environment configuration, it’s best to create another (usually YAML) file within config/ that will store the per-environment configuration variables and load that YAML in your initializer.
