This repo was archived on 2023-07-06, since gemx has been implemented in RubyGems as the gem exec command.

Ever wanted it to be easier to run a command that just so happens to come as a gem? Yeah, @indirect too. So he nerd-sniped me into building this.

$ gem install gemx

$ gemx rails new .
$ gemx --gem cocoapods -r '> 1' -r '< 1.3' -v -- pod install --no-color --help

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/rake 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 bin/rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bin/rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
