Bashfully yours, Gem Shortcuts
, Chicago
To gain quick BASH access to your RDocs, add these lines to your ~/.bash_profile (or equivalent):1
Let’s try it out…
source ~/.bash_profile
gemdoc hpricot
It will open the latest version, but you can specify, and tab completion simplifies the task:
$ gemdoc P→arseTree-2.→→ ParseTree-2.1.1/ ParseTree-2.2.0/ $ gemdoc ParseTree-2.
Great. All bases covered. Modify slightly if you want to open gems in your favorite editor. Replace open with your favorite website-opening command if you’re not on OS X.
(A hat tip to Mislav for the dotfile inspiration.)
