+ActiveRecord - Attribute Override
+=====
+
+A gem that adds two methods to ActiveRecord::Base that let you override attributes of an ActiveRecord model instance much more easily. It also allows you to specify the Rails environments in which the attributes should be overriden.
+
+The attributes are overriden only in the specified model instance.
+
+### Setup
+
+In your Rails 3+ project, add this to your Gemfile:
+
+    gem 'activerecord-attribute-override', :git => 'git://github.com/garysweaver/activerecord-attribute_override.git'
+
+Then run:
+
+    bundle install
+
+### Usage
+
+Override my_attribute_name method in my_model instance to return 'some value':
+
+    my_model.override_attribute(:my_attribute_name, 'some value')
+
+Override my_attribute_name method in my_model instance to return 'some value' only when Rails.env is 'development':
+
+    my_model.override_attribute(:my_attribute_name, 'some value', :development)
+
+Override my_attribute_name method in my_model instance to return 'some value' only when Rails.env is 'test' or 'production':
+
+    my_model.override_attribute(:my_attribute_name, 'some value', [:test, :production])
+
+Override my_attribute_name and my_other_attribute_name:
+
+    my_model.override_attributes({my_attribute_name: 'some value', my_other_attribute_name: 'some other value'})
+
+Override my_attribute_name and my_other_attribute_name only when Rails.env is 'development':
+
+    my_model.override_attributes({my_attribute_name: 'some value', my_other_attribute_name: 'some other value'}, :development)
+
+Override my_attribute_name and my_other_attribute_name only when Rails.env is 'test' or 'production':
+
+    my_model.override_attributes({my_attribute_name: 'some value', my_other_attribute_name: 'some other value'}, [:test, :production])
+
+#### Using Without Rails
+
+To use without Rails, either don't specify the environment(s), or define your own Rails.env outside of Rails to return the environment of your choice like:
+
+    class Rails
+      def self.env=(e); @@e = e; end
+      def self.env; @@e; end
+    end
+
+    Rails.env = :foobar
