Create a tilde-arrow Gemfile line for a gem on rubygems.org using the latest version number available according to the rubygems api.

If possible, we’ll also copy that Gemfile line into the clipboard using pbcopy.

Examples¶ ↑

Normal Gemfile usage¶ ↑

# gemline rails
gem "rails", "~> 4.0.1"
  Gem line copied to your clipboard.  Ready to paste into your Gemfile

Including group designation¶ ↑

# gemline rails --group development,test
gem "rails", "~> 4.0.1", :group => [:development, :test]
  Gem line copied to your clipboard.  Ready to paste into your Gemfile

Append your Gemfile¶ ↑

# gemline rails >> Gemfile

Gemspec style¶ ↑

# gemline rails -g
gem.add_dependency "rails", "~> 4.0.1"
  Gem line copied to your clipboard.  Ready to paste into your Gemfile

# gemline rails -g --group development
gem.add_development_dependency "rails", "~> 4.0.1"
  Gem line copied to your clipboard.  Ready to paste into your Gemfile

Gemline – It’s not just for the command line anymore. You can use it in your bootstrapping code too.¶ ↑

puts Gemline.new('rails').gemline
puts Gemline.new('rails', :group => :development).gemline
