Post: HowTo: enhance Thor script help listings

[tamouse]

In the rails_template thor script, I enhanced the help capabilities. Talk about doing that. The heart of it is re-purposing the help method:

  def self.help(shell, subcommand = false)
    shell.say HelpText::HELP_PREAMBLE % {package_name: PACKAGE_NAME}, :blue
    super
    shell.say HelpText::HELP_EPILOGUE, :blue
  end

The help text is defined as constants in another file to save space in the original.
