What's this?

first_or_initialize(attributes = nil, options = {}, &block) public

Like first_or_create but calls new instead of create.

Expects arguments in the same format as Base.new.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/relation.rb, line 130
    def first_or_initialize(attributes = nil, options = {}, &block)
      first || new(attributes, options, &block)
    end
