 This new _gem\_name/cli.rb_ file will define the command line interface using another gem called `Thor`. Thor was created by Yehuda Katz as an alternative to the Rake build tool. Thor provides us with a handy API for defining our CLI, including usage banners and help output. The syntax is very similar to Rake. Additionally, Rails and Bundler both use Thor for their CLI interface as well as their generator base. Yes, Thor even does generators!

 It was aforementioned that we could use Thor for more than just CLI. That we could use it to create a generator. This is true. We can even create generator_s_, but let's not get too carried away right now and just focus on creating the one.

+We're going to mix it up a bit and add a new feature to our gem: a generator for a _recipes_ directory. The idea is that we can run our generator like this:
+
+    gem_name recipe dinner steak
+
+This will generate a _recipes_ directory at the current location, a _dinner_ directory inside that and then a _steak.txt_ file inside that. This _steak.txt_ file will contain the scaffold for a recipe, such as the ingredients and the instructions.
+
+Thankfully for us, Aruba has ways of testing that a generator generates files and directories. Let's create a new file called _features/generator.feature_ and fill it with this content:
