Simple, straightforward Rake tasks for building and releasing Ruby gems.

This gem provides basic Rake tasks for gem development without unnecessary complexity or magic. It reads your .gemspec file and defines tasks for building, installing, and releasing your gem.

No configuration files. No generators. No dependencies beyond Rake itself.

gem install simple-rake-tasks

In your project's Rakefile:

require 'simple-rake-tasks'

That’s it. You now have these tasks available:

rake build     # Build your gem into the pkg directory
rake install   # Build and install your gem into system gems
rake release   # Build, tag, and push your gem to rubygems.org
rake test      # Run tests
rake clean     # Remove temporary products
rake clobber   # Remove generated files

• Ruby
• Rake
• A .gemspec file in your project root
