gems

I'm building a website based on RoR, and using a third-party gem "devise". I have used rake gems:unpack to unpack the "devise" to my "vendor/gems" directory. Now, I found the method "SessionsController.create" provided by "devise" is not fit my requirement, and I want to modify it.

But I don't know what it is best way:

just modify the method SessionsController.create" directly?
create another SessionsController and override the "create" method?
