We need to create a Ruby gem for this repository and publish it to RubyGems, Ruby’s official package registry. Packaging the repository as a gem will simplify distribution, version management, and integration for Ruby developers.
Why We Need This
Easy Installation: Publishing the repository as a gem allows developers to install it using gem install <gem_name>, making it straightforward to integrate into Ruby applications.
Version Control: RubyGems supports versioning, which helps developers specify and manage dependencies more effectively.
Distribution: By publishing to RubyGems, the gem becomes available to the broader Ruby community, enhancing its visibility and usability.
Steps to Proceed
Follow these steps to create and publish the repository as a Ruby gem:
Prepare the gemspec File:
Create a .gemspec file in the root directory of your project. This file should include metadata such as the gem name, version, summary, description, author, license, and any dependencies.
Refer to the RubyGems documentation for detailed instructions on setting up the .gemspec file.
Create a Rakefile (Optional but Recommended):
A Rakefile can be used to automate tasks such as building and publishing the gem. It’s a best practice for managing gem tasks.
Build the Gem:
Run the following command to build the gem from the .gemspec file:
gem build <your_gem>.gemspec
This will create a .gem file in the current directory.
