Gemfiler

Gemfiler will take your Gemfile and make it nice. It will alphabetize and group everything correctly. It can also turn hash syntax into Ruby's 1.9 hash syntax, and align versions / options nicely.

Installation

gem install gemfiler

Usage

Once you've installed gemfiler, you'll get the gemfiler executable.

  • cd into the project with the gemfile you'd like to prettify.
  • type gemfiler file (If you'd like to specify a Gemfile, type gemfiler file OtherGemfile)
  • Voila!

To see a list of options, type gemfiler help file

Additional Options

gemfiler file --ruby19_hashes Will use the 1.9 hash syntax

gemfiler file --nice_spaces Will align all versions / options

Gotchas

Gemfiler works by acting like Bundler, it executes the Gemfile under a shim, and passes all of the gems as objects around Gemfiler.

  • Comments go away (Working on this)
  • Statements will go away, if you have any if statements, or anything other than bundler commands, it will either fail or remove the statement.
