I got tired of messing with ruby gem versioning, so in my normal fashion I automated it. Now when I want to make a ruby gem I do the following.
- Create the remote on github (eg: https://github.com/floomby/gemness)
git clone https://github.com/floomby/gemness.git
cd gemness
gitver install
- Then edit the Rakefile to suit you needs
- Code your gem
git add <files>
git commit -m "Release 1.0.0"
rake package && gem install pkg/gemness-1.0.0.gem
- Using the github api to grab the description and website for the gem would be neat
- Add install target to Rakefile
