Overview

Base class for all Gem commands. When creating a new gem command, define #initialize, #execute, #arguments, #defaults_str, #description and #usage (as appropriate). See the above mentioned methods for details.

A very good example to look at is Gem::Commands::ContentsCommand

Constructor Details

#initialize(command, summary = nil, defaults = {}) ⇒ Command

Initializes a generic gem command named command. summary is a short description displayed in ‘gem help commands`. defaults are the default options. Defaults should be mirrored in #defaults_str, unless there are none.

When defining a new command subclass, use add_option to add command-line switches.

Unhandled arguments (gem names, files, etc.) are left in options[:args].

See OptionParser#make_switch for an explanation of opts.
