DevTools (Base)

DevTools is a compilation of utilities created to make the development process easier.

The base class is intended to be required in other tools via

require "devtools-base"

Once installed, this gem provides a base for several, mostly independent, utilities.

It gives you command line support, which includes the following options:

• --help | -h : Command line help
• --config | -c <FILE> : Include tools-specific options from config FILE
• --version | -v : Print version information and exit

Additionally, the base will look for and load (if found) tool specific configuration items from one of the following files:

• ~/.toolname
• ./.toolname
• ./toolname.rc
• ./toolname.conf

Where toolname is the name of the executable using this base.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install.
