Danger

Do not use this in production!!

I wrote this as a fun meta-programming challenge, with intended use for debugging in development/test environments only.

You can use this library to trace any ruby class. Use with caution!

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec 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, 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.
