# Pretend Generations
To get an idea of what a `rails generate` command is going to to
*generate*, you can do a dry run with the `-p` flag or
the `--pretend` flag. If you run
```
$ rails generate model post -p
```
then you will see the following output
```
invoke active_record
create db/migrate/20150513132556_create_posts.rb
create app/models/post.rb
invoke rspec
create spec/models/post_spec.rb
invoke factory_girl
create spec/factories/posts.rb
```
though those files will not have actually been created. You now know
precisely what rails will generate for you.
