AddGem

Command-line tool to append new gems to your Gemfile.

Problem

When adding a new gem to my Gemfile I found myself visiting http://rubygems.org/gems/GEM_NAME and checking the latest version.

I built this tool so I give the name of the gem and it adds the gem to my Gemfile and includes the version using ~>.

What's wrong with gem search rails -r you might be thinking? the answer is nothing, but why do something in more than one step when it can be done in one. :)

Usage

Install using rubygems:

gem 'add_gem'

And then execute on your work directory:

$ add_gem rails
$ Added gem "rails", "~> 3.2.8" to your Gemfile.
