rsgem - Rootstrap's gem generator

rsgem is a tool to help you start developing gems with the defaults we use at Rootstrap.

Installation

$ gem install rsgem

We highly suggest to not include rsgem in your Gemfile. rsgem is not a library, and should not affect the dependency tree of your project.

Usage

rsgem new NAME

RSGem will solve the following tasks for you:

1. Create a folder for your gem leveraging bundler's defaults. (You need bundler in your system)
2. Add the following dependencies:
   • Rake
   • Reek
   • RSpec
   • Rubocop
   • Simplecov
     • We use Simplecov at 0.17.1 because that's the latest compatible version with CodeClimate.
3. Add configuration files for Reek and Rubocop with default Rootstrap's configuration.
4. Add a rake task to run Rubocop and Reek by calling rake code_analysis.
5. Clean the Gemfile.
6. Git ignore the Gemfile.lock
7. Add a CI provider configuration. GitHub Actions and Travis are available providers. Travis is the default.
8. Set the bundled files to be a short list of files. By default the gem will bundle:
   • LICENSE.txt
   • README.md
   • lib/**/* (everything inside lib)
9. Apply Rubocop style fixes

Examples

rsgem new foo

Creates a new gem called foo.

rsgem new bar --ci=github_actions

Creates a new gem called bar that uses Github Actions as the CI provider.

rsgem new foo_bar --bundler=--ext

Creates a new gem called foo_bar and passes the --ext flag to bundler.

rsgem new bar_foo --bundler='--several --flags'

Creates a new gem passing several flags to bundler.

Help

rsgem -h

Displays global help.

rsgem new -h

Displays help for the new command.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bundle exec rspec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
