Gemify

An extremely simple way to create a RubyGem

What

I like you. Thanks to NewGem you have finally learned to share code. By simply running a command you'll get a filled up directory with lots of goodies. But sometimes you don't need all this awesome stuff. Sometimes you don't want your project to be filled up with unneeded stuff, when all you want to do is building a gem. And that's when you should use Gemify!

How

Gemify gives you one single executable you should run: gemify. It does one thing and, hopefully, it does it well. All you need to do is to run that command in your project-folder. All your files in the lib-folder will be requirable and all your files in the bin-folder will be executable.

When you run gemify it will asks you some questions, and give you the option to save your settings (in the file .gemified). So you should never need to re-enter anything.

If you have other files you want to be included in the gem than those in bin and lib, simply create a file called Manifest.txt with the filenames separated by newline.

Install

sudo gem install gemify
