gemi

Gemi is a simple tool for installing gems for multiple rubys. It also can install specific versions of the gems listed in a YAML file.

without gemi, you need to type 'install' for all your rubys:

$ gem install foo bar baz quux
$ gem-1.9 install foo bar baz quux

with gemi, it's just:

$ gemi foo bar baz quux

or even:

$ gemi gems.yml

Install

$ gem install gemi

Setup

First, execute gemi without any options:

$ gemi

then ~/.gemirc is created. Edit it for your environment.

Example:

rubys: 
  - name: 'MRI 1.8'
    command: 'gem'
    install_options: '--no-format-executable --user-install'
  - name: 'MRI 1.9'
    command: 'gem-1.9'
    install_options: '--format-executable --user-install'

Usage

First of all,

$ gemi foo

will install the gem 'foo' for all your rubys.

gemi can also uninstall, update, or cleanup the gems.

Install gems

Just give the names of the gems to gemi.

$ gemi foo bar   (= gem install foo bar)

You can also install gems defined in a YAML file:

$ gemi gems.yml

Example of gems.yml:

gems:
  - name: 'ruby-openid'
    version: '2.1.4'

  - name: 'nokogiri'
    version: '1.4.0'
    install_options: --with-foo

Uninstall gems

Specify '-d' for "gem uninstall".

$ gemi -d foo bar   (= gem uninstall foo bar)

Update gems

Specify '-u' for "gem upgrade".

$ gemi -u foo bar   (= gem upgrade foo bar)

Cleanup old gems

Specify '-c' for "gem cleanup".

$ gemi -c foo bar   (= gem cleanup foo bar)

Other gem commands

With '--', you can run any gem commands for rubys:

$ gemi -- list --local     (= gem list --local)

The arguments after '--' are passed to each gem command. (Note that 'gemi list' is expanded to 'gem install list'!)

Configuration

.gemirc

~/.gemirc contains the information about each gem commands.

Example:

  rubys:
    - name: Ruby 1.8
      command: gem
    - name: Ruby 1.9
      command: gem-1.9
      install_options: --foo
      uninstall_options: --bar
      update_options: --baz
      clean_options: --quux

install,uninstall,update,clean_options will be appended to the arguments. In this case, the command:

$ gemi a b c

resuls in running these two gem commands.

$ gem install a b c --foo
$ gem-1.9 install a b c --foo

Alternative .gemirc

You can specify an alternative gemirc with '-r' (or '--rc').

Example: use myconf.yml instead of ~/.gemirc

$ gemi -r myconf.yml foo bar
