Examples

Here's an example file to create a gem from:

=begin
author: Gabriel Gironda
email: [email protected]
version: 1.0.0
summary: A tinygem example
description: Example gem created using tinygem
homepage: http://www.example.com/
executable: puts(ARGV.inspect)
---

# Example gem

## TODO - Write README

=end

module ExampleGem
  # Do something
end

Save this in example.rb, then run tinygem example.rb.

TODO

• Add support for specifying runtime dependencies
• Write better docs

tinygem's Issues

No support for multi-file gems

I want to write a gem using multiple "Ruby" files. I read your docs. Is this possible? Do I need JRubies?
