- Wirble -- irb tab completion and syntax highlighting.
-
method finder.rb in my code snippets repo.
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 ∞
A documentation-free installation. Incidentally, this is much faster on my Zaurus. =)
gem install --no-rdoc --no-ri <gem>
