+### `after_bundle` in Rails templates
+
+If you have a Rails template that adds all the files in version control, it
+fails to add the generated binstubs because it gets executed before Bundler:
+
+```ruby
+# template.rb
+generate(:scaffold, "person name:string")
+route "root to: 'people#index'"
+rake("db:migrate")
+
+git :init
+git add: "."
+git commit: %Q{ -m 'Initial commit' }
+```
+
+You can now wrap the `git` calls in an `after_bundle` block. It will be run
+after the binstubs have been generated.
+
+```ruby
+# template.rb
+generate(:scaffold, "person name:string")
+route "root to: 'people#index'"
+rake("db:migrate")
+
+after_bundle do
+  git :init
+  git add: "."
