We all like continuous deployment, but when it comes to publishing Ruby gems, crafting a new version can become a royal pain. Travis's Rubygems integration makes things easier, but you still have to push a new tag and write a changelog, and who has time for that?
Henry makes things really easy, as per Github flow, master is always considered deployable. As soon as the version number is changed and everything is pushed to Travis, once the tests pass (and they will, won't they?), Henry will push a new tag and an automatically generated Changelog (via the magic of github-changelog-generator). Assuming you have Travis set up with Rubygems integration, it will then build the latest tag, and publish it directly to Rubygems. Easy huh?
In your project directory, first run gem install henry and henry bootstrap and follow the onscreen prompts.
Then push up your changes, and sit back and relax, safe in the knowledge that you'll never forget to push a new gem version again.
