Creating a gem ∞
Tricks and tips ∞
gem help gem help <command> gem install gem uninstall gem search <term>
I don't know how to uninstall based on the gem name. =/ I guess I just have to leave off the version number. This should be automatically figured out by 'gem'. =/
"Requiring" rubygems ∞
Untested:
Set RUBYOPT=-rubygems, if you don't want to require 'rubygems'. Users can transparently either use gems or install from source or use their package managers.
Be careful. it's breaks some packages, like the gsl.
Installing RubyGems without its documentation ∞
Installing a gem without its documentation ∞

gem install --no-rdoc --no-ri <gem>
