Eefgilm: A gem for cleaning up your Gemfile

Description:

Eefgilm automatically modifies a ruby gemfile to make them a little easier to read, it does this by alphabetizing the gems, removing all comments, and removing all whitespace including leading and trailing.

These Gemfile best practices are all loosely based on a blog post written by John McDowall.

These best practices are:

Consistent use of Ruby hash syntax. Use either the old hashrocket or the new Ruby 1.9 syntax, but not both.
Consistent use of a single quoted delimiter. Use either apostrophes or quotation marks, but not both.
No commented Gem references. If it’s commented out, it shouldn’t be there.
Comments relating to a Gem are on the same line as the gem statement, not above.
Group gems that are sourced from Git repos at the top. Chances are they are referencing pre-versions that will become general release and you can change the reference to be part of the General project group later.
Group gems that are sourced from a project path after Git repo sourced Gems. These are probably gems that you might make public and thus reference in the general project gem group later.
Group all of the General project gems together (consider using the :default group).
Group all of the Production project gems together after the General gems.
Group all of the Asset gems after the Production group.
Group all of the Test related gems after the Asset gems.
Group all of the Development related gems after the Test gems.
Within all Gem groups, sort the references by Alphabetical order.
When adding new gems, maintain the alphabetical ordering within the groups.

Installation

The simplest way to install Eefgilm is to run this command:

Usage

Once you have installed eefgilm on your system or in a project directory its quite simple to use. In the directory who's gemfile you would like to modify run:

eefgilm

Currently it will not ask you for any confirmation before making modifications, nor will it create a backup so please be careful when using eefgilm. It may be a good idea to backup your gemfile beforehand hand this can be done with:

 cp Gemfile Gemfilebackup
