Coral distribution system

A work in progress

Coral aims to complement and — to some extent — replace RubyGems by pulling in and organizing git repositories.

Usage

Fetching a project:

  $ coral clone git://github.com/wycats/thor.git

In your code:

  require 'coral'
  require 'thor'

Why git instead of neatly packaged gems?

• with gems you have to wait for a release;
• you can’t fork a gem, contribute and push;
• publishing gems always felt dirty, admit it;
• with git you can ride an experimental branch of your favorite project;
• with git you have history.

Coral will help you maintain submodules.

Coral will help you deploy.

Did git ever get you laid?

No, and — like you — I keep wondering why is that.
