+*************************************************************
+Declaring the Location of a Custom Generator Command Template
+*************************************************************
+
+The default order of lookup for generator templates is (1) the template defined in the **app/Config/Generators.php** file,
+and (2) if not found, the template found at the ``CodeIgniter\Commands\Generators\Views`` namespace.
+
+To declare the template location for your custom generator command, you will need to add it to the **app/Config/Generators.php**
+file. For example, if you have a command ``make:awesome-command`` and your generator template is located within your *app*
+directory **app/Commands/Generators/Views/awesomecommand.tpl.php**, you would update the config file like so:
+
+.. literalinclude:: cli_generators/001.php
