GemTools

DESCRIPTION:

The gem verison of my lightweight tool to manage gems using a config file,
similar to GemInstaller.

My blog post on why I prefer GemTools over config:gem

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

Doesn’t yet work in Windows

SYNOPSIS:

I use this to manage gem versions in my apps, it has a script to install gems
and a load utility to load them on startup.

create a gems.yml in a new project

gemtools setup path/to/app

Install or update required gems

gemtools install

Check to see if any of the gems in your app have newer versions

gemtools check_updates

Make sure they are loaded with the right versions during startup, by adding the
following to your script or environment.rb (Rails)

require ‘gem_tools’ GemTools.load_gems

See the sample config for the format

INSTALL:

sudo gem install gem_tools

TODO

  • Write the tests/specs
  • Make it work in Windows
