rubygems-sandbox

Helps you manage your command-line tools and their dependencies.

The sandbox plugin for rubygems helps you manage your command-line tools and their dependencies. Sandboxed gems are installed in their own private repositories with their dependencies. This means that you don’t have to have a rats nest of gems in your global repository in order to run popular command-tools like rdoc, flog, flay, rcov, etc.

gem sandbox has the following sub-commands:

gem sandbox list

list current sandboxes

gem sandbox install gem_name ...

install 1 or more gems

gem sandbox outdated gem_name ...

check 1 or more gems for outdated deps

gem sandbox plugin gem_name plugin_name ...

install a gem and plugins for it

gem sandbox uninstall gem_name ...

uninstall 1 or more gems

gem sandbox cleanup gem_name ...

remove older gem deps

gem sandbox update gem_name ...

update 1 or more gems

Example

% gem uninstall flog flay ruby_parser sexp_processor
% gem sandbox install flog flay
% cp ~/.gem/sandboxes/*/bin/* ~/bin
% flay whatever
