Documentation

Install the plugin: 
ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/JonMidhir/simple_groups.git

To install: 

script/plugin install git://github.com/JonMidhir/simple_groups.git



To use: 

script/generate simple_groups Group



If you wish you can rename the last parameter anything you want, but Group is probably the most appropriate! Add
--skip-migration to avoid creating the migration files.

Add this near the top of your User model: 

include_simple_groups



Remember to run the migrations: 

rake db:migrate
