Rakefile¶ ↑

This is a KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) approach to Rakefiles for my Ruby projects. It may or may not be of use to you.

Examples¶ ↑

Using this in your own Ruby projects couldn’t be simpler - just make a Rakefile that consists of these two lines, and you’re done:

require 'rubygems'
require 'rakefile'

If you like this approach, but not necessarily the specific Rake tasks I’ve defined, the naming conventions I’ve used, or any other little thing, don’t despair - wanting to do things my own way is exactly why I created this project in the first place, and there’s no reason why you can’t have your cake and eat it, too.

To apply your own customizations, just fork the project on GitHub, and then add one single extra line to your Rakefile to explicitly specify the gem to be used; for example, this is how I would ensure my own Rakefile gem is loaded:

require 'rubygems'
gem 'bendiken-rakefile'
require 'rakefile'

Download¶ ↑

To get a local working copy of this repository, do:

% git clone git://github.com/bendiken/rakefile.git

If you want to customize the functionality for your own requirements, fork the project on GitHub instead:

Installation¶ ↑

To use this in your Ruby projects, first install the gem from GitHub as follows:

% [sudo] gem install bendiken-rakefile -s http://gems.github.com
