CLI Installation

The repo ships a command-line tool under cmd/rubygems — query gems, list versions, search, and auto-install Ruby, all from the terminal. Useful for quick lookups, shell scripts, and CI.

Install

go install github.com/scagogogo/rubygems-skills/cmd/rubygems@latest

This puts a rubygems binary on your $GOPATH/bin (or $GOBIN). Make sure that's on your PATH:

export PATH="$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin"
rubygems -help

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/scagogogo/rubygems-skills.git
cd rubygems-skills
go build -o rubygems ./cmd/rubygems
./rubygems -help

Verify

rubygems -get -gem rails

You should see the rails gem's name, version, and download count.

What it can do

Subcommand (flag)	Action
-get -gem NAME	Get package info
-search -query QUERY	Search packages
-versions -gem NAME	List versions
-deps -gem NAME	Show dependencies
-rdeps -gem NAME	Show reverse dependencies
-install	Auto-install Ruby/RubyGems on this machine

Plus output/format/mirror flags (-json, -cache, -mirror, -limit). See Commands.

No install? Use go run

You can skip the binary entirely and run it on the fly:

go run github.com/scagogogo/rubygems-skills/cmd/rubygems@latest -get -gem rails
