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.
