GitVer - Ruby Gem Auto Versioning

Usage

I got tired of messing with ruby gem versioning, so in my normal fashion I automated it. Now when I want to make a ruby gem I do the following.

git clone https://github.com/floomby/gemness.git
cd gemness
gitver install
  • Then edit the Rakefile to suit you needs
  • Code your gem
git add <files>
git commit -m "Release 1.0.0"
rake package && gem install pkg/gemness-1.0.0.gem

TODO

  • Using the github api to grab the description and website for the gem would be neat
  • Add install target to Rakefile
