Where is the pattern of code that creates ruby/bin/rails file

Today I worked with the way a system executes rails command. And discovered this chain

ruby_instalation_dir/bin/rails -> ruby/gems/reilaties/exe/rails -> ruby/gems/reilaties/lib/rails/cli.rb

Last two elements of this chain I able to find in the GitHub.

Now I'm seeking what is the instructions that tell RubyGem how to generate rails file. I did not find any match of railaties in the rails.gemspec file. But some how RubyGem knows that need to call railaties gem. Where does this information stored?

The rails command is part of the railties gem, not part of the rails gem. Therefore, you need to look in the railties gemspec:

s.bindir      = "exe"
s.executables = ["rails"]
