rails latest stable - Class: Rails::Generators::Actions

plugin(name, options)

public

Install a plugin. You must provide either a Subversion url or Git url.

For a Git-hosted plugin, you can specify a branch and whether it should be added as a submodule instead of cloned.

For a Subversion-hosted plugin you can specify a revision.

Examples

plugin 'restful-authentication', :git => 'git://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git'
plugin 'restful-authentication', :git => 'git://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git', :branch => 'stable'
plugin 'restful-authentication', :git => 'git://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git', :submodule => true
plugin 'restful-authentication', :svn => 'svn://svnhub.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication/trunk'
plugin 'restful-authentication', :svn => 'svn://svnhub.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication/trunk', :revision => 1234
