Adding a generator for my custom gem (Rails > 3)

I'm trying to write a Ruby gem (with Rails 3.2.13), I have created a generator to do a file copy.

Following is my generator code

#<mygemname>/lib/generators/mygemname/mygemname_generator.rb

require 'rails/generators'
require 'rails/generators/migration'

module Mygemname
  module Generators
    class ConfigGenerator < Rails::Generators::Base
      p "testing generator"
    end 
  end
end

then I go to the test app in my <mygemname>/spec/dummy (I use Rspec for testing), so from my dummy app, when I run

rails g I get 

Mygemname:
  mygemname:config

but when I run rails g endless:config, I get 

Could not find generator endless:config.

but when I run rails g endless, I get the correct result. But I would like to have the command as rails g endless:config, how can I do that?

Try renaming the file: /lib/generators/mygemname/config_generator.rb

And structure config_generator.rb a bit differently:

class Mygemname
  class ConfigGenerator < Rails::Generators::Base
    p "testing generator"
  end 
end
