GEM3.1(1)

📦 version 3.1.2, in debian bookworm

✨ NAME ✨

okay so gem3.1 — it's the frontend to RubyGems, which is literally the Ruby package manager 💎 bestie, this is your gateway to all the gems.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gem3.1 command [arguments...] [options...]

like, that's the whole shape of it. a command, maybe some arguments, maybe some options. iconic.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so gem3.1 is the frontend to RubyGems, the standard package manager for Ruby. no cap, that's its whole job and it does it beautifully 💅

ngl this particular page is a basic help message — it's basically a little signpost situation, pointing you toward the stuff that has more info. think of it as the main character's trailer, not the whole movie 🎬

further help, since you're gonna want it:

  • gem3.1 help commands lists all the gem3.1 commands. all of them. the whole roster 👑
  • gem3.1 help examples shows you some examples of usage, so you can see how it's actually done 🦋
  • gem3.1 help COMMAND shows help on COMMAND — so like, 'gem3.1 help install' if you wanna know about install specifically. yes, you type COMMAND as a placeholder and swap in the real one, iykyk 💖

like go look at it. it's giving resource hub ✨

💅 EXAMPLES 💅

here's the vibe, in one glorious block:

gem3.1 install rake
gem3.1 list --local
gem3.1 build package.gemspec
gem3.1 help install

obsessed, honestly. that's install, that's list --local, that's build off a package.gemspec, and that's asking for help like a responsible queen 🫶

💜 SEE ALSO 💜
