In this commit, we are adding the option to set the name of the app when generating a new one with `rails new`. The option `--name` will override the application name to be different from the folder name. ``` rails new my-app-folder --name=my-actual-app-name" ``` The command above will generate a new Rails application in the folder `my-app-folder`, but the file `config/application.rb` would have the following structure: module MyActualAppName class Application < Rails::Application end end This option would be most useful when generating a Rails application in the current folder: ``` rails new . --name=my-app ```
