+Description:
+    Scaffolds an entire resource, from model and migration to controller and
+    views, along with a full test suite. The resource is ready to use as a
+    starting point for your RESTful, resource-oriented application.
+
+    Pass the name of the model (in singular form), either CamelCased or
+    under_scored, as the first argument, and an optional list of attribute
+    pairs.
+
+    Attribute pairs are field:type arguments specifying the
+    model's attributes. Timestamps are added by default, so you don't have to
+    specify them by hand as 'created_at:datetime updated_at:datetime'.
+
+    You don't have to think up every attribute up front, but it helps to
+    sketch out a few so you can start working with the resource immediately.
+
+    For example, 'scaffold post title:string body:text published:boolean'
+    gives you a model with those three attributes, a controller that handles
+    the create/show/update/destroy, forms to create and edit your posts, and
+    an index that lists them all, as well as a map.resources :posts
+    declaration in config/routes.rb.
+
+    If you want to remove all the generated files, run
+    'script/destroy scaffold ModelName'.
+
+Examples:
+    `./script/generate scaffold post`
+    `./script/generate scaffold post title:string body:text published:boolean`
+    `./script/generate scaffold purchase order_id:integer amount:decimal`
