A working Ruby gem that has all the required information (builds without warnings).
Many people who program in Ruby are afraid to make gems because they think that this is complex.
When they run bundle gem to create a gem template, the generated template is quite complex.
This project shows that a Ruby gem is a simple thing.
RubyGems has nice guides on how to build gems. Start with this one:
https://guides.rubygems.org/make-your-own-gem/
You don't have to use Bundler to build gems. You can write a gemspec and build it by hand.
An excellent, in-depth article about writing gem specification by hand:
https://piotrmurach.com/articles/writing-a-ruby-gem-specification/
rspec
gem build thing.gemspec
require 'thing'
thing = Thing.new
thing.size- No single command (
bundle exec rake release) that would do all this:- Add a tag with version to the Git repository
- Push it (and commits as well) to the remote repository
- Build the gem
- Push it to RubyGems
Please send me a pull request if you can remove something and make the gem even smaller :) Preferably it should still build and work without warnings.
