  2. Look in plugins, either for generators/ or rails_generators/ directories within each plugin
  3. User home directory. Search ~/.rails/generators.
  4. RubyGems. Search for gems named *_generator, and look for generators within any RubyGem‘s /rails_generators/<generator_name>_generator.rb file.
