README

gem-browse
==========

Open a library file you can require in your editor. That's it.

gem edit active_support/all
gem edit rake/task thor/task
gem edit -e mvim fileutils

Actually that's not it. You can also open a gem by name.

gem open bundler

Your editor's current working directory will be the root of the gem.

I almost forgot. You can also clone a gem from GitHub.

gem clone rails
gem clone -d ~/src capybara

And you can tell it to open the gem in your editor afterwards.

gem clone -o rack
gem clone -oe mvim -d /tmp gem-browse

This one doesn't work if the neither the homepage nor the source code
URL point back at GitHub.

That's really it. I mean other than the command that lets you open a
gem's homepage in your browser. You know, the command this gem is named
after.

gem browse sprockets

Installation
------------

RubyGems 1.8 is required to use `gem edit`, but the other commands will
work on any version that supports RubyGems plugins.

gem install gem-browse

If you're using RVM, you can put it in the global gemset (relax, it has
no dependencies):

echo gem-browse >> ~/.rvm/gemsets/global.gems
rvm @global do gem install gem-browse

Protip: Install [gem-ctags](https://github.com/tpope/gem-ctags) to
automatically invoke [Ctags](http://ctags.sourceforge.net/) on gems as
they are installed.

Contributing
------------

Don't submit a pull request with [an ugly commit
message](http://stopwritingramblingcommitmessages.com) or I will ignore
your patch until I have the energy to politely explain my zero tolerance
policy.
