An effort to provide awesome documentation for the RubyGems ecosystem.
- Be the definitive place for RubyGems knowledge
- Help out those new to RubyGems get started and get things done
- Make it easy to contribute more guides
If a guide is empty, start filling it out! Or, make a new one! Pull requests are gladly accepted!
- Pick one from the repo issues
- Port content from help.rubygems.org knowledge base
- Find lots of StackOverflow/ruby-talk questions and get their common answers in here
- Fill out more guides!
First, install the sass command line tool. On MacOS you can use Homebrew:
$ brew install sass/sass/sass
Then run bundle install and bundle exec rake. This will launch both Jekyll and
Sass in "watch" mode.
The pages will be available at http://localhost:4000/
Every guide except for the Command and Specification Reference is just a straight up markdown page, so just go edit it!
For the Command Guide (command-reference.md), edit command-reference.erb
and run:
$ bundle exec rake command_guide
For the Specification Guide, the documentation comes directly from the
Gem::Specification class in RubyGems. Edit it, set your RUBYGEMS_DIR to
where your code directory is, and run:
$ RUBYGEMS_DIR=~/Dev/ruby/rubygems bundle exec rake spec_guide --trace
Huge thanks to thoughtbot whose playbook this is based off of.
