# Bundle Try
Open a REPL with the gems you want to try.
Quick weekend-hack inspired by [lein-try](https://github.com/rkneufeld/lein-try).
## Installation
```
gem install bundle-try
```
## Usage
By default `bundle try some_gem` will start a Ruby REPL.
To open a shell (i.e. to use gem executables) do: `bundle try --shell some_gem`.
Some examples:
```
$ bundle try redis
... some bundling ...
irb(main):001:0> Redis
=> Redis
```
Multiple gems:
```
$ bundle try redis rake
```
Specific version:
```
$ bundle try redis '3.1.0'
```
...or any requirement that would be understood by bundler:
```
$ bundle try redis '~> 3.1.0'
```
Combined with gems that don't need a specific version:
```
$ bundle try redis '~> 3.1.0' rake gem_with_version '1.0'
```
Github repository:
```
$ bundle try https://github.com/jeremyevans/sequel # or the clone-url with .git
```
...or via the short notation:
```
$ bundle try gh:jeremyevans/sequel
```
Specific Github version:
```
$ bundle try gh:jeremyevans/sequel 4.21.0
```
Prepend the gem-name when it can't be derived from the url:
```
$ bundle try redis@gh:redis/redis-rb
```
Gem in a gist (see [the gist](https://gist.github.com/eval/66f7bfaf17d364ddd232) as an example of a minimum viable gem):
```
$ bundle try rot13@https://gist.github.com/eval/66f7bfaf17d364ddd232
```
Nothing will be written to the current directory, so it's save to run from an existing project-folder.
But if you need the Gemfile:
```
$ bundle try rake > Gemfile
```
Feeling lucky?
```
# Gemception
$ bundle try bundle-try
```
## Developing
Run the features:
```
$ bundle exec cucumber
```
## Is it any good?
Glad you ask! Yes, it's 'Cloons Approved'. This, as my Ruby-friend [Elizabeth](https://twitter.com/_elsapet) learned me, means that if this gem would've had a slightly bigger budget, there would be a nice Nespresso-like commercial with George himself vowing for this software.
