+Save Changes To for Rails
+=========================
+
+This Rails plugin makes a `save_changes_to` method available in `ApplicationController` which takes the name of an ActiveRecord model and updates the attributes of an instance of that model an appropriately named instance variable in the controller with the attributes in `params` corresponding to the model name.
+
+Full documentation is at [RubyDoc.info](http://rubydoc.info/gems/save-changes-to).
+
+Example
+-------
+
+The following
+
+    class UserController < ApplicationController
+      def update
+        save_changes_to(:user)
+      end
+    end
+
+is the equivalent of
+
+    class UserController < ApplicationController
+      def update
+        @user.update_attributes(params[:user])
+      end
+    end
+
