Gem::ConfigFile
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 :concurrent_downloads
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)
