Seven Habits of Highly Effective Gems
summary
Seven concrete practices make a Gem pleasant: a four-line quick start and a long README so users get going and discover features; inline YARD tags that document types and hidden methods; strict Semantic Versioning to avoid surprising breaking changes; loosened dependency ranges plus automated alerts from Gemnasium; CI across Rubies and dependency combos with Travis CI and Appraisal; Bundler/Vagrant to make tests runnable locally and in CI; and RuboCop to enforce style so pull requests integrate cleanly.
