Gem::ConfigFile

v2_2_9 - Show latest stable - Superclass: Object

Gem::ConfigFile RubyGems options and gem command options from gemrc.

gemrc is a YAML file that uses strings to match gem command arguments and symbols to match RubyGems options.

Gem command arguments use a String key that matches the command name and allow you to specify default arguments:

install: --no-rdoc --no-ri
update: --no-rdoc --no-ri

You can use gem: to set default arguments for all commands.

RubyGems options use symbol keys. Valid options are:

:backtrace

See #backtrace

:sources

Sets Gem::sources

:verbose

See #verbose

gemrc files may exist in various locations and are read and merged in the following order:

  • system wide (/etc/gemrc)

  • per user (~/.gemrc)

  • per environment (gemrc files listed in the GEMRC environment variable)

Included modules

  • Gem::UserInteraction
