Rails Override Default Scaffold Templates

To changing the Rails scaffold templates, we would find the location of the railties gem with bundle show railties and get to the path lib/rails/generators/erb/scaffold/ templates to find the templates to modify, as done in an older blog post.

However, this changes the templates for all rails projects from that point forward. To override the scaffolding templates for a single project, create the directory lib/templates/erb/scaffold and copy the railties templates into the directory to modify.
