Opening a Gem – Thanks Bundler

Posted on January 14, 2011

For quite some time, I’ve been using the open_gem gem. It’s a dead simple way to open a gem in your editor and if you subscribe to John Nunemaker’s approach to Stop Googling, it fits perfectly into the workflow.

From the command line, it’s simply:

$> gem open timecop

Today, while reading bundler’s help file, I noticed the open command. It appears to do the same thing as open_gem, but without the need of an extra gem.

Now, I just type:

$> bundle open timecop

I love the world of ruby!

A short bit on me…

First and foremost, I am a husband to the most incredible woman alive, a father of four amazing children and in general, I love being alive.

After that, I am a passionate Ruby on Rails developer, a {biking|climbing|hiking|swimming} enthusiast, a paleo chef (ahem…in my own kitchen), an avid reader, and a huge fan of tech startups.

My current role is software engineering manager at OveractDev Technology Partners in St. George, UT. We build custom web applications with pride and craftsmanship.
