+Description:
+    Stubs out a new model. Pass the model name, either CamelCased or
+    under_scored, and an optional list of attribute pairs as arguments.
+
+    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 model immediately.
+
+    This generator invokes your configured ORM and test framework, which
+    defaults to ActiveRecord and TestUnit.
+
+Examples:
+    `./script/generate model account`
+
+        For ActiveRecord and TestUnit it creates:
+
+            Model:      app/models/account.rb
+            Test:       test/unit/account_test.rb
+            Fixtures:   test/fixtures/accounts.yml
+            Migration:  db/migrate/XXX_add_accounts.rb
+
+    `./script/generate model post title:string body:text published:boolean`
+
+        Creates a Post model with a string title, text body, and published flag.
