+    
+        # template.rb
+        
+        # Install plugins from git or svn
+        plugin "will-paginate", :git => "git://github.com/mislav/will_paginate.git"

+        end
+    
+    Usage:
+    
+      To use a template, provide a file path or URL:
+    
+      1. Using a local file :
+
+        rails <application name> -m /path/to/my/template.rb
+        
+      2. Or directly from a URL :

+
+* Add a rake task to generate dispatchers : rake rails:generate_dispatchers [Pratik Naik]
