💎 GEM2GV(1) 💎

okay bestie, welcome to the gem2gv manual page — yes, the section-1 one, the one you type into a terminal when you're feeling ✨curious✨ about your gem situation. Grab a strawberry 🍓, sit down, we're doing graphs.

🌸 NAME 🌸

gem2gv — create a dependency graph between gems

no cap, that's literally the whole job description. she graphs gems. iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gem2gv [-Tformat] [-ofile] [-h] [-V] gemname

that's the vibe. one gem name, a couple of optional flags, and you're off 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so gem2gv is a tool that lets you create a dependency graph between gems. that's it, that's the whole main character energy — you give her a gem, she gives you a picture of who depends on whom. lowkey obsessed with the drama of it all 🎀

if you want more deets, go peek at </usr/share/doc/ruby-graphviz/> — that's where the extra lore lives.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

one bullet per flag, no skipping, we respect the full list in this house 🫶

• -T, --output-format [format] — the output format. default is png. pick your aesthetic.
• -o, --output-file [file] — the path to your output image file. default is STDOUT, so if you don't say anything she just yells it at the terminal.
• -p, --path — Graphviz path. tell her where Graphviz lives, she'll find her way 💖
• -u, --use [PROGRAM] — which program to use. default is dot. yes, the classic. the original. the blueprint.
• -s, --stop LIB[,LIB[, ...]] — stop on libs. give her a comma-separated list of libraries and she'll stop there, like a girl who knows when to leave the group chat 😌
• -V, --version — show version. quick vibe check on which build you've got.
• -h, --help — show this usage message. your little safety net, bestie.

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

here's the moment you've been waiting for, the actual real-life usage:

gem2gv -Tpng -oruby-graphviz.png ruby-graphviz

png format, output to ruby-graphviz.png, graphing ruby-graphviz herself. she ate that fr fr 🔥
