rails-routes:tldr:0f86e

rails-routes: List routes partially matching URL helper method name, HTTP verb, or URL path.
$ rails routes -g ${select}
try on your machine

The command "rails routes -g ${select}" is used in Ruby on Rails (Rails) to list and display the available routes in a Rails application, filtered by a specific option indicated by ${select}.

Here's a breakdown of each component in the command:

  • "rails routes": This is the command for listing and displaying the application's routes. It provides information about the available routes in the Rails app, including the HTTP verb, URL pattern, controller, and action associated with each route.

  • "-g ${select}": The "-g" flag is used to filter the routes based on a specific option. ${select} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual option you wish to filter the routes by. For example, if you want to filter the routes to only show those related to a specific controller, you would replace ${select} with the name of the controller.

By running this command with the appropriate option, you can get a filtered list of routes that match the specified criteria, which can be helpful for understanding the available routes in a Rails application.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
