Gemcutter

I’ve put all my gems on gemcutter. They were on GitHub but seeing as GitHub has dropped building gems I thought it’d be useful to move them.

Using gemcutter

The site makes it look easy, because it is:

gem install gemcutter
gem tumble

Now you’ll be able to install gems from gemcutter.

Publishing your own gems

This is easy too. Write a gemspec file and then build a gem, and push it to gemcutter:

gem build yourgem.gemspec
gem push yourgem.gem

Note: It might take a few minutes before the gem is available from gemcutter.

Automation

Jeweler can be used to automate this process — it can use your git and GitHub settings to automatically generate a new project (including GitHub hosting, test directories/helpers).
