Lightning Talk: gem-contribute Building what you cannot find

on YouTube ↗05m

" summary

A small CLI called gem-contribute exists that scans Gemfile.lock and surfaces dependencies with issues tagged good first issue instead of waiting for maintainer opt‑in. The tool fix command forks clones and creates a branch for the chosen issue and the submit command opens the PR form in a browser (it does not fabricate a PR body or use an LLM). It installs from RubyGems, runs locally, and is already usable with further work planned during hack day.
